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)
Shit (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 band won't play
You took the blues away from me
Now the drummer won't play
And my heart can't sing
And the band won't play
You took the blues away from me
And I'm alone on the stage, I don't feel ways
I don't feel no ways
You took the blues away from me
Now my heart won't sing
And the trumpet won't play
And the boys won't say
You, you, you took the blues away from me
Now my heart won't sing
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 can't swing
And the boys can't play
♪
Oh baby, you took your 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
Outside screaming in the rain
Screaming Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
My heart can't contain all the parts that I'm to blame
I came back, what's my name?
What's my name, what's my name?
So many wounds on the brain
Can we please exchange?
'Cause I don't remember why I came
And what love I had to bring
Doo-wop on the corner in the rain
Singing Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
