Lyrics Curtis Mayfield – Blue Monday People
Text:
Some people feel so empty
All their problems and hurt of pride
You make me so happy sweet baby
Love is by my side
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
We Blue Monday people
And I know there’s a few
I don’t know your problems
Only you know how to solve them
When seasons are strong
Sometimes your life don’t get along
But when cupboards are bare
Our love we can share
Truth is not the whole question
What is the 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
Don’t have to listen to me
One day you may see
We Blue Monday people
Just trying in a strain
Life breaking our hearts
I’m so tired it’s a shame
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
We Blue Monday people
And I know there’s a few
I don’t know your problems
Only you know hot to solve them
When seasons are strong
Sometimes your life don’t get along
But when cupboards are bare
Our love we can share
We’re Blue Monday people
