lyrics

Blu Boy

I woke up early this morning dreaming of you
Of you I spent the weekend adoring
oh yeah
and the music was good too

this is the story of the girl who is lost
not knowing who to turn to
and most of all who to trust

He played a mean pedal
He played it the whole song through
He played his part so well a perfect match
a perfect fit
and we all got along too

this is the story about the boy who is lost
it’s hard to know what to do
when you’re in love with two women
and one of them is the cost

One note after the other
in progression nice and slow
He had what I wanted
and I wanted a lot don’t you know

I’ll play it like a hero
I’ll play it like no sleep and rust
I’ll play it on piano
and this ship is doomed for boom or bust

I woke up early again this morning
with this song running through my head
What one man can do on the microphone
but tonight I’m sleeping alone
in this lonely double bed

I’ll play it like a hero
I’ll play it like no sleep and rust
I’ll play it on piano
and this ship is doomed for boom or bust
