How Blue Can You Get

How Blue Can You Get - B.B. King

I've been down hearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

I said, I've been down hearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

You know our love is nothing but the blues, baby

Baby, how blue can you get?

You're evil when I'm with you, baby

And you are jealous when we're apart

I said, you're evil, you're so evil when I'm with you, baby

And you are jealous when we're apart

How blue can you get, baby

The answer is right here in my heart

I gave you a brand new Ford

But you said, "I want a Cadillac"

I bought you a ten dollar dinner

And you said, "Thanks for the snack"

I let you live in my penthouse

You said, "It was just a shack"

I gave you seven children

And now you wanna give 'em back

I've been down hearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

I said, our love is nothing but the blues

Baby, how blue can you get?
