Baby's Blue - Janis Ian

Baby's Blue

Janis Ian

Baby's blue, and he's blue over you

Babe, he's blue, and I know he's only blue

over you, yeah, over you who were

Sugar and spice (to him)

and everything nice (to him)

You didn't do right to him

Now you no longer lie by him

Babe, he's blue

and I know he's only blue

over you, yeah, only over you

Now, I'm old enough to know there are some things

that should never be heard

I'm old enough to know there are feelings

you just can't put into words

Ah, but he's hurt

He's laughing on the outside, looking in at you

Crying on the inside, looking out at you

And he's laughing outside, smiling outside

He's dying inside

Babe, he's blue

You know he's only blue

over you, yeah, over you

Baby's blue, and you know why he's blue

Only over you

He's blue only over you

Sugar and spice (to him)

and everything nice (to him)

You didn't do right to him

Now you no longer lie by him

Babe, he's blue

and I know he's only blue

over you, yeah, only over you

Baby, he's lonely

and I know he's only blue over you

Only over you
