MISERY
(Johnny Otis / Mario De Lagarde)


Little Esther Phillips (with the Johnny Otis Orch.) - 1950


Can't you find 
A little space in your heart
For a fool like me
I'm in misery

I'm so blue 
With just the memory of you
Though you found someone new
I'm still in love with you

I've tried to conceal the heartache I feel
When I see you out with your new flame
I can't forget, though I've nothing to gain
But misery and pain

Won't you try 
To find a place in your life
For a fool like me 
And end my misery

I've tried to conceal the heartache I feel
When I see you out with your new flame
I can't forget, though I've nothing to gain
But misery and pain

Won't you try 
To find a place in your life
For a fool like me 
And end my misery
