Mister Blue — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)

Whats the story, mr. blue

Did she pull the rug from under you

Did she chop your dreams up two by two

And kick them out the door

I could sympathize you, son

But pity words stick to my tongue

And sorry words have all been sung

So many times before



Oh, mr. blue, you blew your chances long ago

Oh, mr. blue, youre through

Quit acting like you didnt know



Hang on one more day or two

Then I promise Ill be laying you

Odds that shes found someone new

While you stand around and rust

She dont need no part-time man

With no part-time answer, understand

She dont want an hours fall of sand

For a lifetime full of dust



Oh, mr. blue, you blew your chances long ago

Oh, mr. blue, youre through

Quit acting like you didnt know



Mr. blue, you missed the shot

Didnt turn out quite the way you thought

It would, Ill bet, cause you got caught

Out playing donald juan

Shes got polish, shes got class

And someday when on the street you pass her house

Youll wonder why the grass

Looks greener on her lawn



Oh, mr. blue, you blew your chances long ago

Oh, mr. blue, youre through

Quit acting like it isnt so
