I can’t sleep at night for all the commotion   My heart beat the hell out of our devotion   Tied up and tied down, cried out of my mind   Crazy to love you, crazy still to care      Black circles under my eyes   You run circles around those other girls’ guys   Otherwise a woman would wake up and start a war   Why be blue anymore?      Refrain:   Why be blue over you?   Why be blue over you?   (Why be blue?)      Life is too short to spend in tears   Save something sweet for the not-so-tender years   Try not to cry much, oh when it’s over   Goodbye to you, and goodbye to heartache too   (Refrain)      Should have seen it coming, should have seen the signs   Would have been better off if you’d never ever been mine   Otherwise a woman woke up and walked out the door   Why be blue anymore?   (Refrain)
