White Rhythm and Blues

I don't want you to hold me tight
 Till you're mine to hold
 And I don't even want you to stay all night
 Just until the moon turns cold
 All I need is black roses
 White rhythm and blues
 And somebody who cares when you lose
 Black roses, white rhythm and blues
 You say that somebody really loves you
 You'd find her if you just knew how
 But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
 Is probably asleep by now
 And they're dreaming of
 Black roses, white rhythm and blues
 And somebody who cares when you lose
 Black roses, white rhythm and blues
 Close your eyes
 Sleep away all your blues
 I've done everything but lie
 Now I don't know what else I can do
 Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself
 But the words just stick in my throat
 Would you think that somebody like me
 Might hurt much more than it shows
 Just send me black roses
 White rhythm and blues
 And somebody who cares when you lose
 Black roses, white rhythm and blues
 Black roses, white rhythm and blues
