I been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
(I said) I been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
(Yeah) You ask me if I'm still blue, woman
Tell me, baby. How blue can I get?

You're evil when I'm with you, baby
Baby, you're so jealous when we're apart
(Yeah) You're evil when I'm with you, baby
Little girl, and you're so jealous when we're apart
(Yeah) You ask me if I still love you, woman
Well, the answer's right here in my heart

I bought you a brand new Ford
Said you wanted a Cadillac
When I bought you that ten dollar dinner baby
You said, "thanks for the snack."
I let you live in my penthouse
And you called it a shack
I gave you seven children, woman
Now seven of them tell me
You want to give every last one of them back

I been downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
(Yeah) You ask me am I'm still blue, woman
But tell me, baby. How blue can I get?
