Mr. Blue

(album: Everybody Loves A Clown - 1965)

Our guardian star lost all his glow the day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said no, and his silver turned to blue
Like him I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me, ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you love me (I'm Mr. Blue)
Then prove it by going out on the sly
Proving your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you're sorry (I'm Mr. Blue)
Then turn around, heading for the lights of town
Hurting me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night (Right by the phone)
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride
Call me Mister

I won't tell you
While you paint the town (I'm Mr. Blue)
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it, too
But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mr. Blue

Call me Mr. Blue
Call me Mr. Blue
