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
