Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black
And I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back
She’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black
And I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
I think of her but she thinks only of him
And though it’s only a whim
She thinks of him
Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do
Baby’s in black
And I’m feeling blue
Tell me oh what can I do
Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do
Baby’s in black
And I’m feeling blue
Tell me oh what can I do
She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back
She’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black
And I’m feeling blue
Tell me oh what can I do?
