The Blues Ain't Nothin' But a Woman Cryin' For Her Man - Dinah Washington

I am a full grown fool and I shoulda known better But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her I would go back to her time after time Man I must have been out of my mind All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all Well we fought for love and we fought for trust And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us We could not reach it and I don't know why It took so long just to say goodbye All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all Well her friends all told her, mine told me But we would not listen, could not see Me and my pride, her and her dreams We never ever stood a chance it seems All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all

So you tell him to say no more You don't wanna know why or where Where he's been all these lonely nights You know what's wrong and don't care what's right As long as he comes back to you Someone to love him all his life It ain't nothin' but a heartache Darling, you'll get over It ain't nothing but a heartache Darling, you'll get over it When there's always, there comes a day When love just goes away And there's no caring, no words to say There's no more giving, no games to play When all you know will get you through Seems like you've known it all your life It ain't nothin' but a heartache Darling, you'll get over It ain't nothin' but a heartache Darling, you'll get over it It ain't nothin' but a heartache (yes, it is) Darling, you'll get over It ain't nothin' but a heartache (yeah) Darling, you'll get over it It ain't nothin' but a heartache (yes, it is) Darling, you'll get over It ain't nothin' but a heartache Darling, you'll get over it It ain't nothin' but a heartache (yeah) Darling, you'll get over It ain't nothin' but a heartache (I know) Darling, you'll get over it It ain't nothin' but a heartache
