[Intro/Chorus]
(Why you wanna make me blue?)
(Why must I cry over you?)
(Why you wanna make me blue)
(When you know I love you?)

[Verse 1]
Darlin', darlin', open up your eyes
I love you, baby, but you must realize
You just can't keep leadin' me on
Knowing I'll follow 'cause my love is so strong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've excepted all your "ifs", "buts", and "ands"
Worked my fingers to the bones to meet your demands
Now I'm at the crossroads and I can't see my way
My friends are laughing at me saying, "Boy, you've been played," baby

[Chorus]
(Why you wanna make me blue?) Why can't I understand?
(Why must I cry over you?) Baby, baby, baby. baby
(Why you wanna make me blue?) Oh, baby
Don't you know I lovе you? (When you know I love you)

[Verse 2]
I should have givеn up a long time ago
My mind wanted to leave but my heart said no
The old saying is true and now I know
That fools rush in where wise men never, never go
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I'm too far gone to try and turn around
You own me body and soul, now I'm your clown
You took my heart and threw it in the sand
You don't love me, that's why I can't understand, baby

[Chorus]
(Why you wanna make me blue?) Darlin', darlin', darlin'
(Why must I cry over you?) I can't understand why
(Why you wanna make me blue?)
Don't you know I love you, baby? (When you know I love you)

[Outro]
Oh, baby, baby, baby (Why you wanna make me blue?)
Why do you wanna make feel so blue? (Why you wanna make me blue?)
You know I love you, I love you, I love you
