Baby's blue, he's blue over you.
Baby's blue, don't know,
He's only blue over you.

Yeah, over you, you-hoo, woh.
Sugar and spice, dear,
And everything nice, dear.

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.

[ Instrumental break featuring Janis on the piano. ]


Baby's blue, you know why he's blue,
Only over you.

He's blue only over you, ooo-ahh.
Sugar and spice,
And everything nice.

You didn't do right to him.
Now you no longer lie by him.


Babe, he's lonely.
I know he's lonely blue over you.
Only over you.


[ Instrumental to end. ]
