lyrics

To Whom It May Concern,

You want me to write Motel Blues for you. Well I got news for you, I don't work like that. There ought to be some place I can go that nobody ever knows and you're where it's at! Still I haven't seen you for a while, do you still exist? I wouldn't need much, I just want to see you smile. I like happiness, despite what they say. I imagine you mad at me on the other side of the sea, and I've got to say, it makes me laugh, because I just want to see you happy each and every day. How could you feel that way? Do you even feel that way?

Sometimes it's hard to know if I should stay or go, but I always stay. Maybe I'm lazy, or maybe I'm a man, or maybe I'm crazy for you, and you're crazy for me too.

I didn't ask to be this way, I just woke up one day and here I was. Or maybe that's a lie, and everything I've ever done is just because of me. But that means everything you've done is just because of you, and I don't like everything you've done, just the nice things you've done to me.

Sincerely,

Motel Blues
