How Blue Can You Get

(Leonard Feather, 1946)
 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
