(Blue) Be Myself - Aretha Franklin, The Ray Bryant Combo

Feeling mighty blue

By myself

One old lonesome shoe

By myself

Now that love’s behind me

You’ll find me

By myself

I just sit and stare

At the floor

Just don’t seem to care

Anymore

Since my baby’s gone

Got a padlock on my door

That old black cat

Keeps hanging around

But I am not blaming him

Because things are bad

It isn’t his fault

I’ve gone and lost

The only love

I ever had

Love

Love

I miss him so

It’s no lie

And I’m so «double o»

I could die

So I’ll be

Just me here

By myself
