Black & Blue

The world don't look so bad Through the bottom of a drinking glass But we all know how long that lasts Till it all turns black and blue Well I was taught to be a good man Be loving kind and true And I know I ain't always been all of those things girl But I'll always be them things for you Oh my minds a burning flame One that often burns me too My heart beats about a thousand colors But they're all shades of black and blue Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Well I'd work my mortal hands Right down to skin and bone Just to give you all you might need Just to show you all I might show All I ask in return Is just a lap to rest my weary head Maybe a heart that beats rose red Next to mine black and blue Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
