[Verse 1]
Watching that clock
Tick-tocking on by
Had to talk myself
Out of up and quitting outright
But I heard that we were working late
I called my baby on my next break
She was a hot mess
She had a bad day
She took a deep breath
Next thing she had to say
Was "honey I want you"

[Chorus]
Baby's blue
Yeah she needs me by her side
So blue
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Lord knows I need this job
There's bills to pay
But I'd walk away if I had to
Mm, baby's blue

[Verse 2]
Finally off work
Crank up my pick-up
Drive off like a madman
'Cause she needs my love
Like a songbird needs a tune
I'll tell you just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna
Wrap her up tight
Kiss the tears out of her eyes
Man I swear
If I hit another red light
I'm gonna drive on through
I'm gonna drive on through 'cause
[Chorus]
Baby's blue
Yeah she needs me by her side
So blue
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Lord knows I need that job
There's bills to pay
But I'd walk away if I had to
Mm, baby's blue

[Outro]
Oh, the kind of fire my baby's got
Always passed the point of red hot
It's blue
'Cause she needs me by her side
So blue
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Lord knows I need that job
'Cause there's bills to pay
But I'd walk away if I had to
Mm, baby's blue
My baby's blue
