I don't want you to hold me tight, till you're mine to hold And 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 And 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 And 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 for love, now I don't know what else I can do All 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 have hurt much more than it shows Just send me black roses, white rhythm and blues And 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, black roses, white rhythm and blues Somebody, somebody who cares when you lose I need a little white rhythm and blues I need a little white rhythm and blues
