[Intro]
Changed his name from Brown to blue

[Verse 1]
We stood there in the courthouse room
So close yet far apart
You had brought your lawyer
And I'd brought a broken heart

[Refrain 1]
The judge pronounced the words
The way you wanted him to do
And changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue

[Bridge]
I couldn't keep my tears from falling
On the courtroom floor
By law, they took away my rights
To love you anymore

[Refrain 2]
My world just seemed to stop
While I stood there so close to you
They changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
[Verse 3]
The judge forgot to tell me
How I'd live my life alone
What I would do without you
After loving you so long

[Refrain 3]
He didn't seem to care that
I am still in love with you
He changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue

[Bridge]
I couldn't keep my tears from falling
On the courtroom floor
By law, they took away my rights
To love you anymore

[Refrain 2]
My world just seemed to stop
While I stood there so close to you
They changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
