Carlene Carter Why Be Blue Lyrics

Why Be Blue Lyrics

I can’t sleep at night for all the commotion

My heart beat the hell out of
our devotion

Tied up and tied down, cried out of my mind

Crazy to
love you, crazy still to care



Black circles under my eyes

You run circles around those other girls’ guys

Otherwise a woman would
wake up and start a war

Why be blue anymore?



Refrain:

Why be blue over you?

Why be blue over you?

(Why be blue?)



Life is too short to spend in tears

Save something sweet for the
not-so-tender years

Try not to cry much, oh when it’s over

Goodbye
to you, and goodbye to heartache too

(Refrain)



Should have
seen it coming, should have seen the signs

Would have been better off if
you’d never ever been mine

Otherwise a woman woke up and walked out the
door

Why be blue anymore?

(Refrain)
