Been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ive 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 cigaret
My love is like a fire
But baby yours is like a cigaret
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get

Youre evil when Im with you
And youre jealous when were apart
Yes youre evil when Im with you baby
Lord have mercy, youre jealous when were apart
How blue can you get
Hey thats 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

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