My Baby Only Sings the Blues

from Straw Songs: Vol. 1 by Jeff Straw

/

lyrics

She feels that happiness is a state of mind:
Obscenely temporary and unjustly derived.
I try a different melody, but she can't find the tune.
'Cause my baby only sings the blues.

Her emotion's a bloodstain on a clean, white sleeve.
And she never hesitates to say what she means.
I hang on every insight, but her wisdom is askew.
Oh, my baby only sings the blues.

Yet, she somehow alleviates confusion
With cynical, paradigm illusions.
But, oh, when she smiles!
She could light up a labyrinth.
You'd be a fool to think her love isn't heaven-sent.

As she's writing poetry for the bitter man,
She tells me she loves me… I won't ever understand.
I tell her that I love her, but she won't find me true.
'Cause my baby, my baby, my baby -
That little girl only sings the blues.
