Oh the stories I tell
Of lovers I put through hell
They never ended so well
Went real bad
They share an enduring trait
All suffer a common fate
Looking back now it’s too late
And too sad
It’s blue baby I’m crying too
Crying for love, like I do
It’s blue baby I’m crying too
Crying for love, just like you
I was all full of pride
Now I’m carved out inside
It’s left a hole in me
Farther on down the road
Gotten used to that heavy load
My hurried pace has really slowed
Don’t know jack
No more tears on my shoes
I’ve exhausted my black and blues
Just give me something I can use
I’m just a hack
It’s blue baby I’m crying too
Crying for love, like I do
It’s blue baby I’m crying too
Crying for love, just like you
