BLUES FOR BREAKFAST

VERSE 1: LORD I HATE TO SEE THAT SUN A-RISIN'
EVERY DAY IT'S JUST THE SAME OLD THING
YOU'RE STILL GONE AND I'M STILL HERE NOT SLEEPING
KNOWING WHAT THE MORNING'S GONNA BRING

CHORUS: I'M SO TIRED OF HAVING BLUES FOR BREAKFAST
TEARDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY PLATE
THIS HEARTACHE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO SWALLOW
AND I CAN'T KEEP ON LIVING THIS MISTAKE
I'M SO TIRED OF HAVING BLUES FOR BREAKFAST
ALL THIS PAIN AND TROUBLE'S GOT TO END
YOU GO AND FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER LOVER
AND I'LL GO AND FIND MYSELF ANOTHER FRIEND

VERSE 2: WE WOULD SLEEP WITH YOUR ARMS WRAPPED AROUND ME
NOW I HOLD ON TO YOUR PILLOW AND I CRY
YOU USED TO BE SO HUNGRY FOR MY KISSES
NOW YOU'VE GONE AND LOST YOUR APPETITE

VERSE 3: ALL NIGHT LONG I ASK THE SAME OLD QUESTION
MORNING COMES AND IT'S AS PLAIN AS DAY
I'M TIRED OF EMPTY BEDS AND BROKEN DISHES
IT'S OVER AND THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SAY

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG: I'M SO TIRED OF HAVING BLUES FOR BREAKFAST
