Love Again Blues

Langston Hughes

My life ain't nothin'
But a lot o' Gawd-knows-what.
I say my life ain't nothin'
But a lot o' Gawd-knows-what.
Just one thing after 'nother
Added to de trouble that I got.

When I got you I
Thought I had an angel-chile.
When I got you I
Thought I had an angel-chile.
You turned out to be a devil
That mighty nigh drove me wild!
Tell me, tell me
What makes love such an ache and pain?
Tell me, tell me
What makes love such an ache and pain?
It takes you and it breaks you-
But you got to love again.
