Al Jarreau - Black And Blues Lyrics
I need somebody
I need somebody
I need somebody
I need somebody
Please don't leave me alone
I'm tired of being by myself
No, don't you leave me on this shelf
Please don't leave me alone
Help me find my dancin' shoes
Oh help me heal these black and blues
I live just down the way
Just small talk and Jasmine tea
Spend some time with me
Here just watchin' the rain
Take a moment and give me sweet
Lovin' company
You say you know what I mean
Tired of keepin' house for one
No, solo dancin' ain't no fun
If you know what I mean
Cant you come and help me through
Oh I would do the same for you
I live just down the way
We wont have to stay
Sweet dreams in town tonight
Lets go feel the light
Leave those blues in the rain
Take a moment and give me
Some sweet lovin' company
Listen to me don't you see what
I mean
Come on baby, lets do the booty green
This is the way to forget those bad dreams
Oh, don't you feel more like yourself
So good to be down off the shelf
We finally found our dancin shoes
Guess we beat these black and blues
I need somebody
I need somebody
I need somebody
Guess we beat those black and blues

In memory of Al Jarreau: my interview: http://sanfordspeaksout.blogspot.com/2017/02/remembering-al-jarreau-1940-2017.html
wow thank you Sanford I can only imagine how grand it was interviewing Mr. Jarreau!
Marta, thanks for reading. It was one of my two favorite interviews of the myriad I have conducted over the years. He could not have been nicer or more generous with his time. He loved people and wanted top notch education for all. Al Jarreau will be missed.
Always a fine band. Real musicians. RIP, Al. You are missed.
Yes, maniskov for sure the music, the band, and Al's voice were Oh SO Fine
Jeff Porcaro drums
A legend ❤️
Ramlia1 - yep you summed it up. A LEGEND
