[Verse 1]
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead?
Close to you instead
[Chorus]
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
[Bridge]
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
[Verse 2]
And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh, in the times I went astray
The times I went astray
[Bridge]
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, ooh and you were seventeen
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
