Lyrics Black and Blue - Dinah Washington

I thought I knew you better than this,
Than run around town with an open fist
But my minds been calmed by yours
Oh you, you're a beautiful mess
And I tried, tried you on
Did my best not to fall for your charms
But you weaved a dirty little web
And I believed every word you said

Got the golden tongue,
And made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosy-eyed,
You've got me for tonight.

Lay me down on this broken bed,
Paint these walls a long stayin red
Oh dont hurt me like you do,
Don't hurt me like you do,
Black & Blue

Holding on to me too tight,
Your fingers diggin in, losing sight
Feeling weak from intensity
Oh God, make me strong

Guide the golden tongue,
That made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosie-eyed
You've got me for tonight

Lay me down on this broken bed
Paint these walls a long stayin red
Oh, don't hurt me like you do
Don't hurt me like you do
Black & Blue

Tell me
Stand confused
What did you think I do
Leave your silent hand, bruised
Must not of heard about me like I heard about you

Layyyyyyy me down
On this broken bed
Paint these walls a blood-stained red

Don't make me, Don't make me
Hurt you
Don't make me, Don't make me,
Make you Black & Blue

Black, Black, Black & Blue
Black, Black, Black & Blue
Black, Black, & Blue...

Black &.
