You’ve Got a Date With the Blues

[Verse 1]
When the magic flame isn't quite the same
When your friends ask you, "Haven't you heard the news?"
When it's all over town that your castle fell down
You've got a date with the blues

[Verse 2]
If he used to say, "I'll call everyday"
But now he's beginning to pick and choose
That's your warning my friend, you're approaching the end
You've got a date with the blues

[Bridge]
If he used to be exclusively yours
Right at your beck and call
But now he's only elusively yours
You know that soon he won't be yours at all

[Verse 3]
When he says goodbye, better ask him why
'Cause you know now you haven't a thing to lose
And the last time you part, when he hands back your heart
You've got a date with the blues

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
If he promised you he'd be there at eight
Then wandered in at ten
Resign yourself to the obvious fate
It's clear that you may never meet again

[Outro]
When he turns aside, don't forget your pride
Never yearn for a kiss that he might refuse
Out of sight, out of mind, let him go, else you'll find
You've got a date with the blues
