Well I thought my love

My love was true now

I've been jilted

What can I do now with my blues?

Whoa, don't grab me

I got a right to be red

Open up the water gate

Let the sun shine in

Got my Saturday night special

And I'm going downtown now

I'm gonna have me a good time

Gonna find me a sweet love I can call mine

Whoa, don't grab me

I got a right to be red

Open up the water gate

Let the sun shine in

Yeah I thought my love

My love was true now

But I have been jilted

What can I do now with my blues?

Whoa, don't grab me

I got a right to be red

Open up the water gate

Let the flood roll in
