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 cigarette My love is like a fire
 But baby yours is like a cigarette 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
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 cigarette My love is like a fire
 But baby yours is like a cigarette 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
