Lyrics
Somehow I always knew that someday we'd be through
Now that it's happened, I just can't believe it's true
I've done the best I could to keep from feeling blue
Can't get you off my mind, what am I gonna do?
Voodoo, mildew and shandoo!
Why, Daddy, I didn't know you were here
I'm right here looking at you, honey, if it ain't me, it's my shadow
Do you think I sent you far away from me?
I ain't been nowhere
I thought you'd stay away from me
Try to cut me
But hopelessly you've got me down
You left your voodoo all around
I left my trunk in town
I got a need for you
Mm-hmm, yes
Thought I'd kill the crave for you
I hear you
I dug my heart a grave for you
Mm-hmm
Your kisses keep on haunting me
Their memory won't let me be
Yes
I got a need for you
I wish you had a weed for me
Oh, tell me why, why must I think about you?
Oh, Daddy, tell me why can't I live without you?
La-da-da-dee, la-dee-da
Oh, no one else will do for me
Mm-hmm
And nothing else will do for me
You've got me craving night and day
Come back and take these blues away
I'ma take your pay away
Then play me some trumpet in your original way
Oh, baby, tell me why must I think about you?
La-da-da-dee, la-da-da-da
Oh, tell me why can't I live, can't I live
La-da-da, la-da-dee, da-dee-da
You've got me craving night and day
Come back and take my blues away
I got a need for you
I don't want you now
And still I got a need for you
