Blue Monday People - Curtis Mayfield

Some people feel so empty

All their problems and hurt of pride

You make me so happy, sweet baby

Love is by my side

Waking up now in the morning

A little morning sigh

Ready not to get it together

We know temptation

Don’t tell the whole story

But you and me, baby

We have taken inventory

(Blue Monday people)

We Blue Monday people

And I know there’s a few

(Blue Monday people)

I don’t know your problems

Only you know how to solve them

(Blue Monday people)

When seasons are strong

Sometimes your life don’t get along

(Blue Monday people)

But when cupboards are bare

Our love we can share

Truth is not the whole question

(Truth is not the whole question)

What is the answer you hide?

(Answer you hide)

The system need us

But it’s trying to mislead us

They know this money don’t feed us

Depression ain’t just

Quite what you promised

Won’t you, mister, be honest

Acting like a child

Sometimes we get wild

Right when the loving is strong

We don’t want to get along

Don’t have to listen to me

One day you may see

(Blue Monday people)

We Blue Monday people

Just trying in a strain

(Blue Monday people)

Life breaking our hearts

I’m so tired, it’s a shame

(Blue Monday people)

This hustling affair

Ain’t the way I even care

We’ll be together in spite

Of the crimes of the night

Crimes of the night

Crimes of the night

Need someone to see me through

Need someone to comfort me

Sometimes you can let me be

Just let me be

Depression ain’t just

Quite what you promised

Won’t you mister be honest

Acting like a child

Sometimes we get wild

Right when the loving is strong

We don’t want to get along

Don’t have to listen to me

One day you may see

(Blue Monday people)

We Blue Monday people

And I know there’s a few

(Blue Monday people)

I don’t know your problems

Only you know hot to solve them

(Blue Monday people)

When seasons are strong

Sometimes your life don’t get along

(Blue Monday people)

But when cupboards are bare

Our love we can share

(Blue Monday people)

We’re Blue Monday people

(Blue Monday people)

We’re Blue Monday people

(Blue Monday people)

Ah ah

(Blue Monday people)
