Poor baby...had her heart broken yet again. Now all she can do is sit cross-legged in bed, wrapped in her ratty old bathrobe, crying and blowing her nose, and eating junk food. She's got the blues.

She?s all curled up, her eyes all red
Just can?t seem to get out of bed
Poor little nose, all red and running
She?s eating Kung Pao chicken from a cardboard box
She?s all DVDs and Haagen Dazs
Oh, what a loss?
She couldn?t see this train wreck coming.
She thought she found a man she could trust
Then like ashes to ashes and dust to dust
What started out boom ended up bust
Just like it must.
That?s why Baby?s got the blues.

She?s got the blues, she?s got the blues?
Baby?s got the blues
She?s a big girl now?Baby?s got the blues.

She?s had that same old bathrobe since junior high
Shed many a tear over many a guy
Oh my?
This time she?s really through with men
Her friends all tell her she done the best she could
It?s just that men are no damn good
It happens all the time, and here it comes again.
She went looking for love in the pale moonlight
With a very wrong man on a very wrong night
Funny, two wrongs don?t make a right
She thought they might.
That?s why Baby?s got the blues.

She?s got the blues, she?s got the blues?
Baby?s got the blues
She?s a big girl now?Baby?s got the blues.
She?s got the blues, she?s got the blues?
Baby?s got the blues
She?s sadder than wiser now?Baby?s got the blues.
