1. Every time you wake in the mornin'
And you start to cry
And I figure something up baby
But you don't tell me why.

[Chorus:]
But I know that's why I call you blue
'Cause I'll figure something baby
That's why I call you pleasantly blue.

2. Hush, hush, you walk on by, you don't say a word
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
What haven't I heard?

[Chorus:]
And I know, yeah, yeah, yeah that's why I call you blue
'Cause I'll figure something baby
That's why I call you pleasantly blue.

[Bridge:]
Oh no, there you go
What's wrong with you?
Come here baby, come to me baby
What else can I do?

[Chorus:]
Yeah I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I call you blue
'Cause I'll figure something baby
That's why I call you pleasantly blue.

'Cause I'll figure something baby
That's why I call you pleasantly blue.
