Papa Gene’s Blues Lyrics by The Monkees

Monkeemania (The Very Best of the Monkees)

1966

[Verse 1]
No heartaches felt, no longer lonely
Nights of waiting, finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspiration
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright that once before were blue

[Chorus]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me

[Verse 2]
So take my hand, I'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you, I know I'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low

[Chorus]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me

[Interlude]
Play, magic fingers
Yeehaw!
Aw, pick it, Luther

[Chorus]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me

[Outro]
Yes, I love you
And I know you love me
