Sally Blue, she
up and left me;
she couldn't stand to live in poverty.
So I painted a self-portrait in 50 shades of blue
and in this moment of weakness
I'm showing it to you.
Maybe I'm wrong and maybe she's right;
I see things in shades of blue,
she sees things in black and white.
She told me once, and she told me twice;
I never listened to her advice,
now I'm payin' a heavy price.
I've been blessed with some bright ideas,
so bright I thought that they were heaven-sent.
But now I'm 6 months in arrears
divine inspiration sure don't pay the rent.
Maybe I'm wrong and maybe she's right;
I see things in shades of blue,
she sees things in black and white.
She told me once and she told me twice;
I never listen to her advice,
now I'm payin' a heavy price.
Sally, do you think that we could start anew?
It's getting mighty lonesome without you.
Well, she told me once and she told me twice;
I never listen to her advice,
now I'm payin' a heavy price.
So I'm wrong, just maybe she's right;
I see things in shades of blue,
she sees thing in black and white.
Fifty,
fifty shades of blue.
Oh, yeah!
Fifty,
fifty shades of blue.
Fifty,
fifty shades of blue
