You had style, you had class you had everything to make a love last you had grace, you had charm you had me hanging on your arm when i found out you were a fake you ran up and bit me like a snake and i was ready to let go and let all my feelings show
Chorus Tell me why you wanna be so cold why you wanna be so mean you've gone and let your true colors show you're a perpetual blues machine
We could've been just fine if you had only ben all mine 'cause i was for real, but you did not know that you were steppin' on my heart as you were walking out the door but now i know who you are and it's a damn good thing we didn't get too far 'cause i'm not the one that's right for you you need a man to do your rolling like you want him to do
Chorus Tell me why you wanna be so cold why you wanna be so mean you've gone and let your true colors show you're a perpetual blues machine
Now you've gone, and I'm glad that we didn't let it get to bad you know i tried to make it go but there was just no way to tell you so
Chorus Tell me why you wanna be so cold why you wanna be so mean you've gone and let your true colors show you're a perpetual blues machine
