Born to Be Blue

[Verse 1]

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

Maybe I just don't know

Will I ever fall in love

And never have to worry

That I'm fallin' all alone?

Maybe it's true

I was just born to be blue

Maybe it's true

I was just born to be blue

[Verse 2]

They say everybody's got a someone

A sweet somebody to love

It might be fate or destiny

Maybe written in the stars above

But I can't help but wonder

After all that I've been through

Maybe my baby's nowhere to be found

And I was just born to be blue

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]

Was I born to be unhappy?

Just to live on heartache street

Was I born to go to bed each night

And cry myself to sleep?

Can somebody out there help me?

Give me some kind of clue

Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right

But don't tell me I was born to be blue

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

They say nobody dies from a heartache

You can't drown in your own tears

But who wants to live in this world alone

Where minutes turn into years?

So I'd rather go down believin'

Suffer a heartache or two

Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right

But don't tell me I was born to be blue

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Yeah

[Outro]

Was I born to be blue?

Born just to cry?

Born to be alone 'til the day I die?

Somebody tell me

Was I born to be loved?

Born to be kissed?

Born to find the one to show me what I missed?

Was I born to be blue?

Born just to cry?

Born to be alone 'til the day I die?

Tell me, mama

Was I born to be loved?

Born to be kissed?

Born to find the one to show me what I missed? (Rrr)

Can I get a witness?

Was I born to be blue?

Born just to cry?

Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
