John Lee Hooker — Tantalizing With The Blues lyrics

Lyrics

You know, just like, you just, you know what I mean, just, just sittin' 'round,
everybody in a, in a lonesome, lonesome mood, you know?
Just tantalizing with the blues
I’m sitting here, thinking, I’m in a awful mood
I’m sitting here, thinking, this morning, I’m in a awful mood
My baby said she don’t love me, she don’t want me no more
I can tell by the way you treat me, baby, you don’t have to tell me a thing
I can tell by the way that you treat me, treat me, baby, don’t have to tell me
a thing
But now you got me, you got me, you got me, in a awful mood, a lonesome mood
Nobody told me, nobody told me, I got common sense to know myself, baby
Nobody told me, nobody told me, I got common sense to know myself
Because the way you been treatin' me here lately, baby, and that’s why I’m in
an awful mood
Woah! A lonesome mood!
You told me this morning, baby, you goin' home to your family
You said this morning, you said this morning, you goin' home to your family
And you know that’s why you left me, you left me, left me, left me in a lonely
mood
I’m in a lonely, tantalizing, mood! Woah!
Mmm
