Mary J. Blige - I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues lyrics

rate me

MARY:

Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

Between you and me I can honestly say

That things will only get better

And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside

And it won't be long before you and me run

To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands should be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

ELTON:

Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary

Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

Mary:

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands should be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Mary:

Wait on me boy (EJ:Wait on me girl)

I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps(yeah)

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

Both:

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you

Laughing like children (laughing like children), living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Laughing like children

living like lovers Elton, living like lovers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
