[Verse]
I'm toying with your feelings, but let's pretend I'm not
It's just so much fun to like you
Malleable and colorful, you're all I wish I had
I forget I feel so sad

[Chorus]
You're invited to my party of mixed feeling and self doubt
I don't know why you'd stay
But please, don't be mean, help me pick a shade of green
To paint my blues away
Yeah please, don't be mean, help me pick a shade of green
To paint my blues away

[verse]
You're toying with my feelings, but not letting me down
It's not fair to care about me
My wall is up, no matter what, I won't care what you do
'Cause I'm scared of something new

[Chorus]
You're invited to my bedroom, feel my tears run down your back
I don't know why you'd stay
But please, don't be mean, help me pick a shade of green
To paint my blues away
Yeah, please, don't be mean, help me pick a shade of green
To paint my blues away
[Pre-Chorus}
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-badabababa-dododoooo-doodumm-dadadadaa-bababaaa-yabababababaaaa-dadadaaaaaa-ohhhhh

{Chorus/Outro}
Please, help me see, just how great this thing could be
And make me want to stay
Oh please, don't be mean, help me pick a shade of green
To paint my blues away
To paint my blues away
To paint my blues away
