How Blue Can You Get – Gary Moore (originally by Leonard Feather)

I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Tell me, how blue can you get?

You’re evil when I’m with you
And you’re jealous when we’re apart
You’re evil when I’m with you
And you’re jealous when we’re apart
How blue can you get?
Because I [?] right here with my heart

I bought you a brand new Ford
Said, “I want a Cadillac”
I bought you a ten-dollar dinner
You said, “Thanks for the snack”
Let you live in my penthouse
You said, “It was a shack”
Gave you seven children
Now you wanna give them back

I’ve been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
Oh, our love ain’t nothing but the blues
Tell me, how blue can you get?
