I'm breaking my back in the morning, working night and day
Gonna bring home all the bacon, have a place to stay
Oh baby, it's not a life that I would choose
I wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
Well, I'm sitting here at midnight, thinking of you baby 'til three
Thinking of how I live a life of luxury
Baby, are you asking for the proof?
You wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
Yeah, do ladies, do ladies get the blues?
I wanna know, hey
I wanna know, little girl
Do ladies get the blues?
Yes, they do
The ladies they like to shop, their closets, they fill
They buy for the dress, send them in the bill, baby
I ain't rich like how it used to be
I wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
Well, I made up your bed this morning, marked your tracks last night
I pick up on your mess, boy, I feed your appetite
Baby, you're gonna make me blow a fuse
You wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
You go to the beauty shop, you're there from ten to two
You come home full of gossip, a trunk full of shampoo
Baby, I'm just looking for some clues
I wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
Hey, you're singing a song I don't like, you're singing way off-key
You keep up that mess, boy, you ain't getting close to me
Baby, baby, this is a fight you're gonna lose
You wanna know, darling, do ladies get the blues?
He-he-he-he-hey
He-he-he-he-hey
Whoa, baby, hey
He-he-he-he-hey
I wanna know, wanna know, do ladies get the blues?
Yes, they do
