I Wrote a Letter

I wrote a letter to my love today
I wrote it so hard on what I gotta say
I'm down and out to tell you the truth
A man can make a poor girl sing the blues

You know why I couldn't be with you
When there's a chance, please, give me a clue
Until I drown in a sea of booze
A man can make a woman sing the blues, yeah

Took my pride and I threw it away
You gotta release me from this suffering
You'll find me everywhere running around
Until you showed up to find me in the gutter

I wrote a letter to my love today
I wrote it so hard on what I gotta say
All my life is ending up the blues
A man can make a poor girl sing the blues
Yeah, you can make a white girl sing the blues

Yeah

I took my pride and I threw it away
You gotta release me from this suffering
You'll find me anywhere running around
Until you showed up to find me in the gutter, oh

I wrote a letter to my love today
I wrote it so hard on what I gotta say
I'm down and out to tell you the truth
All my life is ending up blues
When there's a change, please, give me a cue
'Cause you know why I couldn't be with you
Until I drown in a sea of booze

A man can make a woman sing the blues, yeah
A man cam make a white girl sing the blues, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
You got me singing the blues
You got me singing the blues
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
