Downhearted Songtext
von B.B. King

Babe, I′ve been downhearted
Ever since the day we met
Babe, I've been downhearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?

My love burns like a fire
Your love burns like a cigarette
Yes, my love burns like a fire
Your love burns like a cigarette
Yes, I′ve seen you put it down and crush it
Tell me, how blue can you get?


Oh, you're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you′re jealous when we′re apart
Yes, you're evil when I′m with you, baby
And you're jealous when we′re apart
How blue can you get, baby?
The answer's right here in my heart

I gave you a brand new Ford
You said, "I want a Cadillac"
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
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 downhearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Tell me, how blue can you get?
