Black And Blue Lyrics - Singles - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

Baby, baby, black and blue, time sure took a toll on you 

What you, what you gonna do tomorrow? 

Oh oh, no no 

Oh the world has got you down, cry your heart out on the ground 

Gimme strength to pick you up and keep you from dying 

Give me strength and give me love, I can never have enough 

All I want is someone who will never stop trying 

Baby baby, black and blue, time sure took a toll on you 

What you, what you gonna do tomorrow? 

I don't wanna see you cry, got to make you realize 

You got more to give me than your sorrow 

Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now 

Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now 

Yes, oh yes, yes you do, oh yes, yes, yes, yes 

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes you do, I, I, I, I know 

Far away in my first dream, visions that are lost in me 

Touch me when I'm touching you, ever so gently 

Can you feel it? Yes you can, just give me your little hand 

I will show you someone that you never thought you'd be 

Baby baby, black and blue, time sure took a toll on you 

What you, what you gonna do tomorrow? 

I don't wanna see you cry, got to make you realize 

You got more to give me than your sorrow 

Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now 

Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now 

Yes, oh yes, yes you do 

Oh yes, yes, yes you do 

There's a big door with a little window 

And the big world is peekin' through 

Lay your head here on my pillow 

I want to take care of you 

There's a big door with a little window 

And the big bad world is peekin' through 

Lay your head on my pillow 

I want to take care of you 

Yes, yes, yes, yes I do now 

Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes I do now 

Yes, oh yes, yes I do, oh yes, yes, yes, yes 

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I do, I, I, I, I'm not afraid 

I'm not afraid 

Oh the world has got you down, cry your heart out on the ground 

Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, pick you up 

Oh the world has got you down, cry your heart out on the ground 

Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, kick you up 

Baby baby, black and blue, time sure took a toll on you 

What you, what you gonna do tomorrow? 

I don't wanna see you cry, got to make you realize 

You've got more to give me than your sorrow
