Analysis of Take away my Blues
You know I've been searching
For someone just like you
You got a certain something
You make me do things I don’t want to do
I hope to seek & I'll find a woman as kind as you
So won’t you come along and take away my blues
My hearts been burning
And you lit the flames
What I am to you?
Is this just a game?
Because then I'll play each & every day
Won’t you come along & take away my blues
Babe won’t you save me from this lonesome life
I need someone to show me that I'm still alive
I'll stand there for you in everything you do
So you won’t you come along and take away my blues
