Downhearted (a.k.a. How Blue Can You Get) lyrics

Ive been down hearted

Ever since the day we met

Baby ive 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 youre evil when im with you, baby

And youre jealous when were apart

Yes youre evil when im with you, baby

And youre jealous when were 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 ive been down hearted baby

Ever since the day we met

Our love is nothing but the blues

Tell me how blue can you get?
