Nat "King" Cole — Beggar for the Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Yes, wild is love
And wherever it takes me, I must go
When love smiles at me, I just can’t refuse
Don’t care if I cry till the tears run down my shoes
I ask for it every time
'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
When love pulls me in like an undertow
If I gotta die, that’s the way I wanna go
Don’t care if I win or lose
'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
I’d say goodbye
But then I ask myself «what for?»
I know that I would only hurry back for more
I know I’m a fool, got no alibis
My heart’s been to school but I never will get wise
I live in the way that I choose
'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
I know I’m a fool, got no alibis
My heart’s been to school but I never will get wise
I live in the way that I choose
'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
I live in the way that I choose
'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
