BLUES AWAY

[Moor Mother & Fatboi Sharif]

Now how am I 'posed to play the blues when I'm feelin' so good

(Hey Camae, yo, I can't play this shit, I, I, I just can't play this shit)

Shit (I can't play this shit)

You took the blues away from me (I just can't play this shit)

(You took the blues away from me)

And the horn won't play and the drummer won't swing

(And the horn won't play and the drummer won't swing)

And the band won't play (And the band won't play, yeah)

You took the blues away from me

(You took the blues away from me)

Now the drummer won't play

(Now the drummer won't play)

And my heart can't sing

(And my heart can't sing)

And the band won't play

(And the band won't play)

You took the blues away from me

(You took the blues away from me)

And I'm alone on thе stage, I don't feel ways

(I'm alone on the stagе, I don't feel no ways)

I don't feel no ways (I don't feel no ways)

You took the blues away from me

(You took the blues away from me)

Now my heart won't sing

(Now my heart won't sing)

And the trumpet won't play

(And the trumpet won't play)

And the boys won't say

(And the boys won't say)

You, you, you took the blues away from me

(You, you took the blues away from me)

Now my heart won't sing

(You, you took the blues away from me)

And the drummer can't swing

And the band can't play

You took your blues away from me

(Now my heart won't sing and the drummer won't swing and the band can't play)

Now my heart won't sing

(You took the blues away from me)

And the drummer can't swing

And the boys can't play

(Now my heart won't sing and the drummer can't swing and the boys can't play, yeah)

Oh baby, you took your blues away from me (Oh, baby)

(You took your blues away from me)

You took the blues away from me

(You took the blues away from me)

Now my heart can't sing

The drummer can't swing

The boys won't sing

(Now my heart can't sing and the drummer can't swing and the boys can't sing, yeah)

Outside screaming in the rain

Screaming Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine

My heart can't contain all the parts that I'm to blame

(You took the blues, you took the blues from me)

I came back, what's my name?

What's my name, what's my name?

(You took the blues, you took the blues from me)

So many wounds on the brain

Can we please exchange?

'Cause I don't remember why I came

(You took the blues, you took the blues from me)

And what love I had to bring

Doo woo on the corner in the rain

Singing Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
