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 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

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
