Here I am, there you be Miles and miles away from me I can't see the good in goodbye Still best of friends have to part Don't lose sleep and don't lose heart No need, so baby don't cry I'd rather be blue thinking of you I'd rather be blue over you Than be happy with somebody else I can't live without ya, outcha For you I'm strong I'm crazy about'cha, outcha magoutcha Don't stay too long I need a little ah, little ooh, little oh, And I'm knocking on wood. Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up It's so hard to be good
I'd rather be blue thinking of you I'd rather be blue over you Than be happy with somebody else Will I be good? Will I be bad? Don't be a fool, you fool. My little flat, I'm turning that Into a Sunday school While you're away, I'm here to say There'll be no iceman there. Singin' the blues I'm gonna use Nothin' but Frigidaire. I'd rather be blue thinking of you I'd rather be blue over you Than be happy with somebody else Blue over you, I'd rather be blue over you Than be hap-hap-hap-happy With somebody else.
