Good Morning Heartache
Embracing Heartache: Etta James' Morning Musings
Lyrics
Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight
Addressing the feeling of heartache in the morning, describing it as a familiar and unwelcome presence.
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
Expressing surprise that heartache is still present despite bidding it farewell the previous night.
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
Describing a restless night, hoping that heartache had departed, but realizing it's still there.
But here you are with the dawn
Acknowledging the persistent presence of heartache with the arrival of the dawn.
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
Expressing a desire to forget heartache, recognizing its enduring nature.
It seems I met you when my love went away
Recalling the introduction to heartache during a past separation or loss of love.
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Beginning each day with the acknowledgment of heartache's presence.
Good morning heartache, what's new
Greeting heartache as if it were a constant companion, inquiring about any new developments.
Stop haunting me now
Pleading with heartache to stop tormenting and haunting the individual.
Can't chase you no how
Expressing the inability to escape from heartache.
Just leave me alone
Begging heartache to leave the person alone, indicating a desire for peace.
I've got those Monday blues
Mentioning the experience of feeling down and depressed on Mondays.
Straight through Sunday blues
Extending the feeling of blues from Monday throughout the entire week, emphasizing a prolonged sadness.
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Repeating the acknowledgment of heartache's presence, expressing a sense of recurrence.
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Recognizing heartache as a familiar companion from the past.
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Accepting the inevitability of heartache's presence and suggesting an attempt to adapt to it.
Good morning heartache, sit down
Directing heartache to sit down, possibly indicating resignation or a desire to manage it.
Stop haunting me now
Reiterating the plea for heartache to stop haunting the individual.
Can't chase you no how
Emphasizing the futility of trying to escape from heartache.
Just leave me alone
Requesting heartache to leave the person alone for peace and solitude.
I've got those Monday blues
Referring to the experience of feeling low and depressed on Mondays.
Straight through Sunday blues
Extending the feeling of blues from Monday throughout the entire week, emphasizing a prolonged sadness.
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Repeating the acknowledgment of heartache's presence, expressing a sense of recurrence.
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Recognizing heartache as a familiar companion from the past.
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Accepting the inevitability of heartache's presence and suggesting an attempt to adapt to it.
Good morning heartache, sit down
Directing heartache to sit down, possibly indicating resignation or a desire to manage it.
