When I was
young and naive
I wore my heart on my sleeve
They said that man was designed
to devil mean and unkind
When, when they give you the eye,
bam, better pass them right by
Snap comes the saddest of news,
whap, they're the baddest of news
You get yourself in double trouble
when you're on a cloud
They break the bubble, let me tip ya
Love is a word for the blues
With just a babe in the wood
I never learned what I should
A trembling leap on the vine
And I see chill in my spine
Clang, there were bells in the air
Bang, I was back for repair
Stop, you can say what you choose
Mop, it's a game that you lose
They got the hand with all the aces
Always doing things and going places
Let me tip ya
Love is a word for the blue
Who can fight it?
Who can ride it?
Love is easy
You tell yourself it's the end,
you're on the shelf and pretend
And when you think that you're sold,
they throw a wink and behold
How you go through it again,
how do they do it again?
Bumps who can ever refuse,
bumps down to earth with a bruise
Resign yourself, you can't de feat it
It's a quirk of fate, you'll never beat it
It'll whip ya
Love is a word for the blue!
