Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do?

She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back
She's dressed in black

Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do?

I think of her
But she thinks only of him (of him)
And though it's only a whim
She thinks of him

Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do?

Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?

Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do?

And so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back
She's dressed in black

Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh, what can I do?
