Stormy Monday Blues
Struggles of Relationships: Stormy Monday Reflections
Lyrics
I had a hard time waking this morning
I struggled to wake up this morning.
I got a lotta things on my mind
I have many things occupying my thoughts.
Like those friends of yours, they keep bringing me down
Those friends of yours consistently bring me down by always being around.
Just hangin' round all the time
They linger and are present most of the time.
I've had a hard time waking most mornings
It's been difficult for me to wake up most mornings.
And it's been that way for a month or more
This has been ongoing for about a month or even longer.
And you've had things your way now I've got to say
Now, it's my turn to assert myself as I'm leaving.
I'm on my way out the door
I'm heading out the door, indicating the end of our relationship.
Why don't you get right, try to get right, baby
I'm urging you to make things right and align with me.
You haven't been right with me
You haven't been treating me correctly.
Why don't you get right, try and get right, baby
I implore you to remember how things used to be between us.
Don't you remember how it used to be
Reflect on the past and how our relationship was.
You had a hard time waking this morning
You also struggled to wake up this morning.
And I can see it in your empty eyes
I can perceive your weariness and emptiness in your gaze.
But there's no need for talking or walking round the block
There's no need for unnecessary communication or actions to decipher the cause.
Just to figure out the reason why
Avoid futile efforts to understand the reasons behind our situation.
I have a hard time handing out warnings
I find it challenging to issue warnings or confrontations.
I'll just slide on out the door
Instead, I'll quietly depart from this situation.
'Cuz I'm tired of everything being beautiful, beautiful
Everything appearing beautiful has become tiresome to me.
And I ain't coming back no more
I'm determined not to return.
But don't you get right, try to get right, baby
Again, I urge you to align yourself with the right behavior towards me.
You haven't been right with me
Your actions and treatment towards me have been inadequate.
Why don't you get right, try and get right, baby
Recall and strive to emulate how things were in the past.
Don't you remember how it used to be
Remember the positive aspects of our past relationship.
