Blues We Like
bb king\blues on the bayou\b.b. king Lyrics

Laughing at me (he he he he he)
Mocking and belittling me with your laughter.

Those pictures you said were strange
Disparaging my art and creativity by calling my pictures strange.

Out of tune out of key
Criticizing and faulting me for being off key or out of tune.

It's such a shame but you never quite see
A pity that you cannot appreciate and comprehend my perspective or views.

You always put the blame on me
Accusing and blaming me for whatever goes wrong or poorly.

I'm like an old blues
Comparable to a blues tune that has been played outdated and overused.

That you never use
That you never appreciate, acknowledge, or utilize for what it's worth.

Going out of style
Falling out of fashion and becoming irrelevant or unappealing.

And it's not worthwhile anymore
It's no longer worth the effort, time, or energy to keep trying.

Looking at you (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo)
Observing and admiring your sharp and dazzling aura.

And the way you shine like a sharp knife
And how you glimmer and radiate like a polished and lethal knife.

Well I've found a new switchblade (switchblade)
I've discovered a newer and more versatile tool or method, like a switchblade knife.

Time I took a stab at a new life
It's time for me to experiment and take a chance on a different path or direction in life.

You send your dirty words to me (your dirty words)
Insulting and vulgar language that you direct towards me.

You're having a ball with the men of the law
You're enjoying yourself and making merry with the authorities or those in power.

But the poet and his pen are free (are free)
However, the artist and his creative mind cannot be controlled or constrained.

There's nothing you can do
You have no power or influence over me or my art.

That would ever bring me to my knees
You cannot force or intimidate me into submission, defeat, or surrender.

Calling me names (you're such a fool)
Insulting or demeaning me with rude and hurtful labels or terms.

You make me feel like I'm crazy
You cause me to doubt my sanity or soundness of mind and judgment.

Something has changed (something has changed)
Something significant and noticeable has shifted or altered.

I don't care for you lately
I have lost interest or affection for you in recent times.

There's nothing left for me to do
There's nothing more I can do or offer in this situation.

I'm just an old blues
I'm merely an outdated and overused blues song that no one wants to listen to anymore.

And it's not worthwhile anymore
And there's no longer any worthwhile or meaningful reason to keep trying or holding on.
