This Blue
When I woke up last night, I was still here
Your lipstick on my knees and on the mirror
It said, in red, toodle-doo
Now I'm this blue

Well, there's a dog out by the lamp post, cold but free
Just enjoyin' doin' what you did to me
Screwdriver does it to the screw
Now I'm this blue (this blue, how blue, so blue)

I was sad before I met you, baby, so what the hey
Every little ride through Joyville must end some day
I got off, you did too
Now I'm this blue

Ah, honey, you can keep what's in my pockets, but send back my pants
Send my little heart back if you get a chance
It don't mean a thing to you
And I'm this blue

It don't mean a thing to you
And I'm this blue
(blue as my new Ovation guitar, baby, is too...)
