Downhearted (aka How Blue Can You Get?)
Babe, I've been down-hearted
Ever since the day we met
Baby, I've been down-hearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing, but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?
My love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes, my love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes, I've seen you put it down and crush it
Baby, how blue can you get?
Oh, you're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes, you're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get, baby?
The answer's right here in my heart
I gave you a brand-new Ford
But you said, "I want a Cadillac"
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said, "Thanks for the snack"
I let you live in my pent house
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give them back
I've been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing, but the blues
Tell me, how blue can you get?
Ever since the day we met
Baby, I've been down-hearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing, but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?
My love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes, my love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes, I've seen you put it down and crush it
Baby, how blue can you get?
Oh, you're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes, you're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get, baby?
The answer's right here in my heart
I gave you a brand-new Ford
But you said, "I want a Cadillac"
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said, "Thanks for the snack"
I let you live in my pent house
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give them back
I've been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing, but the blues
Tell me, how blue can you get?
