2 O'Clock Blues

Well it ain’t the 1

And it ain’t the 3

It happens to be 2

And it’s too early

I got jobs to do

I got games to play

I got a lotta work left

In my day

I got to make it

To the end

I got to think of something new

To change my attitude

It’s true

I think I got the 2 O’Clock blues

Well I can’t go forward

And I can’t go back

I got some people waitin’ on a line

They don’t wanna talk

About Roberta Flack

They’re only doin’ business all the time

And I’m a little bit afraid that I’m

Lookin’ all around to choose

Tryin’ to find something to use

To get me through the 2 O’Clock blues

I’m not talkin’ about 2 in the morning

When you probably should be sleeping

But you’re having fun

No I’m not talkin’ about 2 in the morning

When you probably should be sleeping

But you’re having fun

I’m talkin’ about the day

When you’re workin’ 9 to 5

Trying to keep yourself alive

But time keeps bursting on your bubble

Well I’m shufflin’ my papers

And I think I’m doin’ 6/8 time

My foot’s a tappin’

And my fingers snappin’

My pen’s busy workin’ on a rhyme

I start to thinkin’ it’s a crime

To be swingin’ in my shoes

I keep thinkin’ I’m confused

I’m s’posed to have the 2 O’Clock blues

Now I’m not talkin’ about 2 in the morning

When you probably should be sleeping

But you’re having fun

No I’m not talkin’ about 2 in the morning

When you probably should be sleeping

But you’re having fun

I’m talkin’ about the day

When you’re workin’ 9 to 5

Trying to keep yourself alive

But time keeps bursting on your bubble

But time keeps bursting on your bubble

But time keeps bursting on your bubble
