Cold, empty bed springs hard as lead
Pains in my head feel like old Ned
What did I do to be so black and blue?
Black and blues

No joys for me no company
Even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I've been so black and blue

I'm white inside it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide what is on my face, ooh!

I'm so forlorn life's just a thorn
My heart is torn why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?
(Go man yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Go man, ah)
[Dario Lapenna, go man ah]

I'm white inside it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide what is on my face, ooh!

I'm so forlorn life's just a thorn
My heart is torn why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?
To be so black and blue
("Black and blue" yeah
Go go go go go go go yeah l'orchestra)
