Look what you've done; you've made a fool out of someone
Who thought love was true and found out that you
Were just having fun
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
Oh yes I have
For a long long time, you needed someone and I made you mine
You needed a friend, so I took you in
And I treated you kind
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I have always been around
And I have never, I've never let you down
So now you're telling me that you must go
You know that it's hurting me so, yeah
But there'll come a time, one day, one day you'll wake up and find
You'll come back to me on bended knees
You're gonna be cryin'
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I've been good to you, oh yes I have
I've been good to you, yes I have
Who thought love was true and found out that you
Were just having fun
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
Oh yes I have
For a long long time, you needed someone and I made you mine
You needed a friend, so I took you in
And I treated you kind
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I have always been around
And I have never, I've never let you down
So now you're telling me that you must go
You know that it's hurting me so, yeah
But there'll come a time, one day, one day you'll wake up and find
You'll come back to me on bended knees
You're gonna be cryin'
Oh why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you
I've been good to you, oh yes I have
I've been good to you, yes I have
