I don't want you to hold me tight
Till you're mine to hold
I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold
She said
All I need are
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
Somebody
Who cares when you lose
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find him if you just knew how
Honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now
Wishing for
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
Somebody
Who cares when you lose
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
You can close your eyes
And sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
Oh the night-time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Don’t you think that a man like me
Might’ve hurt much more than it shows
Just send me
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
Somebody
Who cares when you lose
I need some
White rhythm and blues
I need
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody
Who cares when you lose
Just play a little hillbilly rhythm and blues
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody
Who cares when you lose
I need some
White rhythm and blues
She said
All I need are
Black roses
White rhythm and blues
Somebody somebody
Who cares when you lose
I need a little white rhythm and blues
