Lyrics
Frances Blues
Words and music by
Xavier Calvera
You say you want to know all about me
You say you want to sit here beside me
Baby, music is what's on my mind.
You say you need me / Well, play the piano
You say you love me / Let's go mano-a-mano
You play the guitar, baby , I'm singing the blues.
Don't need nobody with lots of money
To keep me home and make me his honey
Baby don't tempt me, music is what's on my mind.
Don't try to keep me from singing the blues
Don't try to stop me / I'm coming right through
Don't try to change me from singing my song all the time.
No one can keep me from singing my song
No one can stop me / I'll sing all night long
Baby, Frances is singing the blues
Baby, Frances is singing the blues
You say you want to know all about me
You say you want to sit here beside me
Baby, music is what's on my mind.
Don't need nobody with lots of money
To keep me home and make me his honey
Baby don't tempt me, music is what's on my mind.
Don't try to keep me from singing the blues
Don't try to stop me / I'm coming right through
Don't try to change me from singing my song all the time.
No one can keep me from singing my song
No one can stop me / I'll sing all night long
Baby, Frances is singing the blues.
Baby, Frances is singing the blues! Oh, yeah!
