How Blue Can You Get? lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

Been downhearted baby

Ever since the day we met

I've been downhearted baby

Ever since the day we met

Our love is nothin' but the blues

Baby how blue can you get



My love is like a fire

Your love is like a cigarette
My love is like a fire

But baby yours is like a cigarette
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it

Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get



You're evil when I'm with you

And you're jealous when we're apart

Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby

Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart

How blue can you get

Hey that's a writing in my heart



I gave you a brand new Ford

And you just said I want a Cadillac

I bought you a ten dollar dinner

You said Thanks for the snack

I let you live in my penthouse

You said it was just a shack

I gave you seven children

And now you wanna give 'em back



I've been downhearted baby

Ever since the day we met

Our love is nothin' but the blues

Baby how blue can you get
