Beggar for the Blues - Nat King Cole

Yes, wild is love

And wherever it takes me, I must go

When love smiles at me, I just can’t refuse

Don’t care if I cry till the tears run down my shoes

I ask for it every time

'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues

When love pulls me in like an undertow

If I gotta die, that’s the way I wanna go

Don’t care if I win or lose

'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues

I’d say goodbye

But then I ask myself «what for?»

I know that I would only hurry back for more

I know I’m a fool, got no alibis

My heart’s been to school but I never will get wise

I live in the way that I choose

'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues

I know I’m a fool, got no alibis

My heart’s been to school but I never will get wise

I live in the way that I choose

'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues

I live in the way that I choose

'Cause I’m a beggar for the blues
