Dangerous Blues Lyrics


All I do is lie by the ocean side
Why do the clouds all turn gray just for you?
I've never bloomed such a beautiful bluesStep outside your door, and go down to the shore
Why do your eyes feel like shells in the dune?
What makes a crowd turn away from a tune?I've never bloomed such a beautiful blues
Even the tide gets high at night
And the truth is wrong sometimesAll I want to do is dig a hole with you
Feet are no strangers to the undertow
Wind won't decide which way to blowBut we will never leave
You're all that's left for meThis is a home, we just don't have a door
Euphoria is a risk on the floor
Words keep on crawling from under the rug
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?Even the tide gets high at night
Even the truth is wrong sometimes
SometimesWho knew that love was a beautiful blues?
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?
Now I know love is a beautiful drug
I know that drug is a dangerous love

I know now love is a dangerous blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mamie Smith (née Robinson) (May 26, 1883 – September 16, 1946) was an American vaudeville singer, dancer, pianist and actress, who appeared in several films late in her career. As a vaudeville singer she performed a number of styles including jazz and blues. She entered blues history by being the first African American artist to make vocal blues recordings in 1920. Willie "The Lion" Smith (not her husband) explained the background to that recording in his (ghosted) autobiography, Music on My Mind.
