How Blue Can You Get [The Blues] — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(Leonard Feather, 1946)
[A side of Youngblood YB 1077, 1976]

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
