Ain't no daylight in my day

here she come a-walkin'
wakin'down de street
yeah, she come a-walkin'
walkin' down de street
i gotta get away from here
'cause i cain't stand the heat

i'm standin' here all tonguetied
starin'at my feet
everthang gone crazy
it all turned bittersweet

she said that she still loved me
but she found another man
how can that be possible
i just doan unnerstan'

here she come a-walkin'
walkin'down de street
yeah, she come a-walkin'
walkin'down de street
i gotta get away from here
'cause i cain't stand the heat

thats just another blues song
'bout love turned inside out
just another blues song
fo' me to sing about

i gotta up and get away
i gotta get away
i can't stand to see her
ain't no daylight in my day

here she come a-walkin'
walkin' down de street
yeah she come a-walkin'
walkin' down de street
i gotta get away from here
'cause i cain't stand the heat
