Lyrics
Well, it’s hard to be a gamblerBettin’ on the numberThat changes ev’ry timeWell, you think you’re gonna winThink she’s givin’ inA stranger’s all you findYeah, it’s hard to figure outWhat she’s all aboutThat she’s a woman through and throughShe’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,Oh, Moody blueTell me am I gettin’ throughI keep hangin’ onTry to learn the songBut I never doOh, Moody blue,Tell me who I’m talkin’ toYou’re like the night and dayAnd it’s hard to sayWhich one is you.Well, when Monday comes she’s Tuesday,When Tuesday comes she’s Wednesday,Into another day againHer personality unwindsJust like a ball of twineOn a spool that never endsJust when I think I know her wellHer emotions reveal,She’s not the person thatI though I knewShe’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,Oh, Moody blueTell me am I gettin’ throughI keep hangin’ onTry to learn the songBut I never doOh, Moody blue,Tell me who I’m talkin’ toYou’re like the night and dayAnd it’s hard to sayWhich one is you.
