I seen you . . . (blues song)

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
standing on the coh'ner
looking all aroun',
waitin' fo'a catman
to take you out uptown. . .

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
unde'neath the lightpole
in yo' high heel slipper shoes,
fo'gettin' all yo' prolems
you got nothin' else to lose . . .

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
dressed up to the nines
in yo' silky satin dress,
lookin' fo' a richman
you think you might impress . . .

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
sittin' in the cafe
at a table in the back,
drinkin' sneaky pete
from a bottle in a sack . . .

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
rubbin' up against him
whisprin' in his ear,
sayin', "I'm so lonsome,
will you take me outta here?". . .

i seen you, oh, yeah, i seen you,
cryin' on yo' pillow
on those lonely, rainy nights,
wishin' for those times
when ever'thing was right. . .
