Etta James - Matriarch Of The Blues

Rhymes

Last night and the night before
Had 25 robbers at my door
I got up and let em in
But I missed them all with my rolling pin
Took everything I own
Like a queen down on her throne
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown, oh yea
I can't let it get me down
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
I can't, I can't
Change my smile into a frown
Yea
Little Sally Walker's in Minnesota
Being good like you know she ought to
And now as I roll up again
Your man has found and he finally win
They took everything I own
Like a queen down on her throne
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
Oh no no no
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
I can't, I can't
Change my smile into a frown
Turn my smile into a frown
All is fair in love and war
What are you waiting for?
Tell them about the, the righteous one
There's no cause and there's no fuss
It'll never happen again
That's just the way it is
I can't let it get me down
Oh no no no
I can't let it get me down
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
I can't let it, I can't let it
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it Let me down
I can't, I can't, I can't
Change my smile into a frown
Turn my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
I can't let it
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown
Tell them about the righteous one
Like a queen down on a throne
Took everything I own
