Craving Blues by Ethel Waters Lyrics

[Verse]
Some people crave for lovin'
Some people crave for gold
But cravin' is just a habit
So I've been told
I felt so bad, I went to the doctor
To have him cure my pain
He felt my pulse and said to me
"Girl, you're suffering from just one thing"

[Chorus]
Just craving a remedy to cure the blues
Whenever I'm sad, someone to hold my aching head
When I'm feelin' bad, just when I thought I had my man to myself
And I was happy as could be
Along came bobbed-haired flapper and [sent?] him away from me
I lovе my man, I'll tell the world I do
And good as I've been, hе ought to love me too
But he keeps me worried day and night
When I want to love him, he wants to fuss and fight
That's why I'm craving a remedy to cure the blues
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
That's why I'm craving a remedy to cure the blues
