Now, I'm singing a blue song, much bluer than blue I lost a friend I thought good and true Without anyone in Since yesterday morning I'm queen of the blues Now, my eyes are all glassy, but I ain't had a drink Spent twenty-four hours just tryin' to think Why did he leave me? Why did he leave me? Oooh, bluer than blue He's like a disease Makes you green Lose all ambition, have run down condition My mind's insane My heart's aflame I miss him so Oh, yes, I know No other love song will I ever sing Blues in my heart will always ring Why did he leave me? Why did he leave me? Oooh, bluer than blue Why did he leave me? Why did he leave me? Oooh, bluer than blue
