Been downhearted baby
 |
|
Ever since the day we met
 |
|
I've been downhearted baby
 |
|
Ever since the day we met
 |
|
Our love is nothin' but the blues
 |
|
Baby how blue can you get

 |
|
My love is like a fire
 |
|
Your love is like a cigarette |
|
My love is like a fire
 |
|
But baby yours is like a cigarette |
|
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
 |
|
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get

 |
|
You're evil when |
|
I'm with you
 |
|
And you're jealous when we're apart
 |
|
Yes you're evil when |
|
I'm with you baby
 |
|
Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
 |
|
How blue can you get
 |
|
Hey that's a writing in my heart

 |
|
I gave you a brand new |
|
Ford
And you just said |
|
I want a Cadillac
 |
|
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
 |
|
You said Thanks for the snack
 |
|
I let you live in my penthouse
 |
|
You said it was just a shack
 |
|
I gave you seven children
 |
|
And now you wanna give 'em back

 |
|
I've been downhearted baby
 |
|
Ever since the day we met
 |
|
Our love is nothin' but the blues
 |
|
Baby how blue can you get |
