You can take blue 
But you can't take me 
If you find it better that way 
We'll just have to see 

Okay, so you don't want much 
You say you're satisfied 
Well, if blue gets you there 
You'll be gratified 
Won't you? 

You can take what is there 
But not what is not 
So if you take it all 
Then all is what you've got 

When the song is over 
You must write a new one 
For if you don't you will see 
Your last is a blue one 

You're sure that you are right 
And all that you do 
Then don't stand idle today 
Tomorrow belongs to you 
Completely 

You can take what is there 
But not what is not 
So if you take it all 
Then all's what you've got 

You are you, that's all 
And what you do too 
If you don't do your thing 
Then you will always have blue 
Surely
