(original version)

Baby, I've been so downhearted
Ever since the day we met
Baby, I've been so downhearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?

You're so evil when I'm with you
Baby, you're so jealous when we're apart
You're so evil when I'm with you
Baby, you're so jealous when we're apart
Just how blue can you get
Well, the answer is here in my heart

(guitar & piano)

Well, I bought you a country mansion
You said was just a shack
Then, I bought you brand new Ford
You said, 'I want a Cadillac'
Well, I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said it was, 'just a snack'
Then, I gave you seven children
Now, you want to give them back

I have been so downhearted
Ever since the day we meet
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?
