Lyrics

Hughes With The Blues
(In The Black But Feelin' Blue)

I have seen the tabloids honey
'Seems I'm soon to be your "ex"

You were in it for the money
and I was in it just for sex

Our prenuptial won't save me
from the heartache that I face
when the happiness you gave me
is something I cannot replace

I'm wrappin' up some deals
they said would never pan out
Invested in some fields
of oil wells too
but you clicked your heals
turned on me and ran out
I'm in the black but feelin' blue

I bought myself a spy
who finds the most reclusive
Hangs out on the sly
without a clue
and I'm the reason why
you're bein' so illusive
I'm in the black but feelin' blue

I'm out of the red
with hair that's turnnin' gray now
since you said that we were through
I'm makin' good bread
but it doesn't pay now
'cause you won't believe
I did it for you

I bought myself a jet
for private transportation
Keep the table set just for two
but you haven't yet
confirmed your reservation
I'm in the black but feelin' blue

Here inside my ivory tower
where security is tight
I'm dreading every lonely hour
wondering if you're alright

I bought myself a jet
for private transportation
Keep the table set just for two
but you haven't yet
confirmed your reservation
I'm in the black but feelin' blue
From wheelin' and a dealin'
to on my knees & kneelin'
I'm in the black but feelin' blue ... So blue
