You left me there with nothing but a cold and empty heart My mama said I should have seen it coming from the start But when I saw you dancing at the local hootchie-coo I was hit between the eyes with a wicked four by two Mama took one look and said "Boy you done been fooled Cause what you think is love is just the black-eyed blues" Oh, I'm old enough to wonder but too young To understand the tricks that older women play to trap a younger man They spy you in the corner blow a kiss and give a wink It drives a man so crazy it drives a man to drink It's just a small reminder that you need to pay your dues To be a charter member of the black-eyed blues Well love is blind they always say and Lord I know it's true But it's tough to see the light when your eyes are black and blue So now I best be careful, hearts are hanging on the line These feelings that I'm feeling could be messin' with my mind You left with all my money girl you really cleaned me out But if you knew what I was worth you wouldn't want to shout I'm sleeping like a baby cause I'm lying here alone I feel just like a dog whose been given back his bone Now I don't make excuses I got nothing left to lose Learned all Mama's lessons 'bout the black-eyed blues Oh yeah, she said, "When love is shining brightly beware the black-eyed blues" Mama always told me, "When hearts are high and mighty Beware the black-eyed blues, cause there's nothing more unsightly than the black-eyed blues"
