[Verse 1]
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead
Close to you instead

[Chorus 1]
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

[Chorus 2]
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay

[Verse 2]
And if I shower around 3 a.m
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh in the times I went astray
The times I went astray

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen[x6]
