Bleeding Heart - Live at Fillmore East 12/31/69 [First Show] Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
People, people, people
Do you know what it means to be left alone?
Oh, people, people, people
Do you know what it means to be left alone?
No letter today
Lord, not even a call on my telephone
So sad

[Verse 2]
Understandin' and a little lovin'
A little lovin' all in the world I need
Understandin' and a little lovin', baby
Lord, that's all in the world I need
A misunderstandin' and a no good woman
They both have caused my heart to bleed

[Interlude]
Yeah

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Every morning
Lord, thе willow's weeping moan for me
Lord, every morning
Lord, thе willow's weeping moan for me
My baby loved me
Now my heart's in misery

[Instrumental Outro]

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
