Lovin’ Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love my baby, love her for myself
I love my baby, love her for myself
And since I’ve had that woman, don’t want nobody else

[Verse 2]
It was late one evening, baby walked out the door
It was late one evening, baby walked out the door
Said I’m leaving you Bobby, I don’t want you no more

(Solo)

[Verse 3]
She said she loved me, never would leave me alone
Oh oh oh, never would leave me alone
Says I love you, love you Bobby, now my top is about to blow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
