Blue Ain’t Your Color – Steven Lee Olsen (from “The Bluebird Café” soundtrack)

I can see you over there starring at your drink
Watchin’ that ice sink all alone tonight
And chances are you’re sittin’ here in this bar
‘Cause he don’t treat you right
Well, it’s probably not my place
But I’m gonna say it anyway ’cause you look like
You haven’t felt the sun, had a little fire
Hadn’t had fun in a little while baby

‘Cause blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color

I’m not tryna be another “just pick you up” kinda guy
Tryna drink you up, tryna take you home
But I just don’t understand how another man
Can take your sun and turn it ice cold
Well, I’ve had enough to drink
And it’s makin’ me think that I just might
Tell you, “If I were a painter I wouldn’t change ya
I’d just paint you bright baby”

‘Cause blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color

Oh, blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color
Blue ain’t your color
