How Blue Can You Get

I've been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

You know I've been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

Our love ain't nothing but the blues

Baby, how blue can you get?

You're evil when you're with me, baby

And you're jealous when we're apart

Evil when you're with me, baby

And you're jealous when we're apart

How blue can you get, baby?

You know the answer is right down here in my heart

I bought you a brand new Ford

You said, "I want a Cadillac"

I bought you a hundred 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

Oh, baby

I've been downhearted

Ever since the day we met

Our love ain't nothing but the blues

Baby, how blue can you get?
