[Verse 1]
Since you left me, baby, I've been true to you
I don't run around every gal in town the way I used to do
Startin' over new, yours forever blue

[Verse 2]
I wrote you a letter, every word was true
And I apologized for all my lies and the way I treated you
Signed it "lonely fool," yours forever blue

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Lately I've been hurtin' deep inside of me
Yeah, my poor heart's broke and every ragged stroke brings back your memory
Keeps me wantin' you, yours forever blue

[Verse 4]
I don't need no doctor to tell me what to do
About this spell of yours 'cause there ain't no cure, even if I wanted to
Can't get over you, yours forever blue

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
If you ever want me, you know what to do
Just call my name 'cause I ain't ashamed to crawl on home to you
If you want me to, yours forever blue
[Verse 6]
I'll buy myself a guitar, any kind will do
The only song I know, play it soft and low, while I moan the blues for you
Oh, the whole night through, yours forever blue
