Lyrics

Black is blackI want my baby backIt’s grey, it’s greySince she went away, oh oh
What can I do‘Cause I-I-I-I-II’m feelin’ blue
If I had my way, she’d be back todayBut she don’t need in timeTo see me again, oh, oh
What can I do‘Cause I-I-I-I-II’m feelin’ blue
I can’t choose, it’s too much to loseMy love’s still strong
Oh, maybe if sheWould come back to meWell, it can’t go wrong
Bad is badI bet I feel so sadIt’s time, it’s timeI bet I found peace of mind, oh oh
What can I do‘Cause I-I-I-I-II’m feelin’ blue
I can’t choose, it’s too much to loseMy love’s still strong
Oh, maybe if sheWould come back to meWell, it can’t go wrong
Black is blackI want my baby backIt’s grey, it’s greySince she went away, oh oh
What can I do‘Cause I-I-I-I-II’m feelin’ blue
‘Cause I-I-I-I-II’m feelin’ blue
