I´ve been down hearted
Ever since the day we met
Baby i´ve been down hearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?

My love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes my love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes i've seen you put it down and crush it
Baby, how blue can you get?

Oh you´re evil when i´m with you, baby
And you´re jealous when we´re apart
Yes you´re evil when i´m with you, baby
And you´re jealous when we´re apart
How blue can you get baby
The answer's right here in my heart

I gave you a brand new ford
But you said: i want a cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
And you said: thanks for the snack
I let you live in my pent house
You said it just a shack
I gave seven children
And now you wanna give them back
I said i´ve been down hearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Tell me how blue can you get?
