I've been downhearted, baby
Yeah, this is the day we met
Yeah, I've been downhearted,
baby
Ever since the day we
met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you
get?
Now, my love burns like a fire
But yours is like a cigarette
My love burns like a fire
Baby, but yours
is like a cigarette
Yes, it is, my love
I've seen you put it down
and crush it
Baby, how blue can you
get?
You're evil when I'm with you
Jealous when we are apart
You're evil when I'm with you
So jealous when
you're your boy
How blue can you get
Baby the answer is
here in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford,
you said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner,
and you said thanks for the snack
I let you have my penthouse,
you said it was just a shank
I gave you seven children,
and now you want to give them all back
Yeah, baby, I've been downhearted
Yeah, this is the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues,
baby, how blues can you get
Yeah, yeah, yeah
