Sometimes I wonder about the things I'm doin' and the things I've done Just tryin' to find my way And sometimes I wonder if I'm fooling myself, maybe just for fun While I cry my blues away Shake Yeah, uh It's been such a long time that my heart's been singin' this lonesome song Seems nothing satisfies me And too much never unwinds what's been wound up in my heart so long The price to lie ain't free I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why nothin' I'm doin' can ever ease my mind I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why these wonderin' blues are just so unkind I woke this morning with a low-down jinx all around my bed So it's double that's on my mind So I soaked up my warning with a bottle of whiskey in my head 'Cause I know trouble ain't far behind, no I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why nothin' I'm doin' can ever ease my mind
I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why these wonderin' blues are just so unkind Yes, yes Ooh, ooh, ooh Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Ow! Look out! Sometimes I wonder about the things I'm doin' and the things I've done Just tryin' to find my way And sometimes I wonder if I'm fooling myself, maybe just for fun While I cry my blues away Shake I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why nothin' I'm doin' can ever ease my mind I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why these wonderin' blues are just so unkind I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why nothin' I'm doin' can ever ease my mind I wonder why it's so hard just to love you, baby I wonder why these wonderin' blues are just so unkind These wonderin' blues are just so unkind, uh!
