Here I am, there you'll be
Miles and miles away from me
I can't see the good in goodbye
Still best of friends have to pass
Don't lose sleep and don't lose heart
You know me so, baby, don't cry

I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else

I can't do without 'ya, oucha
For you I'm strong, I'm crazy about 'ya
Oucha-ma-goucha, don't stay too long!

I need a little ah, little oooh, little oh
And I'm knocking on wood
Honey, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
It's so hard to be good

I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else

Will I be good? Will I be bad?
Don't be a fool, you fool
My little flat, I'm turning that
Into a Sunday school

While you're away I'm here to say
There'll be no ice man there
Singing the blues I'm gonna use
Nothing but Frigidaire

Still I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather no over you
Than be happy with somebody else
