Lyrics


I've been downhearted baby

Ever since the first day that we met

I've been downhearted baby

Ever since the first day that we met

Your love ain't nothing but the blues

Woman, how blue can ya' get?


You're evil when I'm with ya'

And oh, you're jealous when we're apart

Good God, you're jealous when I'm with ya' honey

And you're evil when we're apart

Your love ain't nothing but the blues

Woman, how blue can ya', can ya' get?


Oh

You're evil when I'm with ya'


I bought you a brand new car

You said "I want a Cadillac"

I bought you a ten-dollar dinner

You said "Thank you for the snack"

I let you live in my penthouse

You said "That ain't nothing but a shack"

I gave you seven children

And now you wanna give 'em back!


Oh, I've been downhearted baby

Good God, I've been downhearted since we met

And listen, your love ain't nothing but the blues

Woman, how blue can ya' get?


Yeah, oh
