For a month, she's a perfect wife and a motherYou'd never dream that things could go so wrongBut like a cloud across the skies, I see the sadness fill her eyesThen one day, I'll come in and she'll be goneWhen baby gets the blues, my world turns for goodWhile she's out somewhere with her bright lights and her bluesUntil the day she comes back home ashamed and soberMy world stops turning when baby gets the bluesAs long as she has me, I know I'll keep forgivingThough I'm afraid of how much I'll someday loseI just can't tell you what a happy world that I live inIn between the times that my baby gets them old bluesWhen baby gets the blues, my world turns for goodWhile she's out somewhere with her bright lights and her bluesUntil the day she comes back home ashamed and soberMy world turns over when my baby gets them old bluesMy world turns over when baby gets the blues*
