Born Blue Songtext
von Etta James

Another day
Has come and gone
In a world
Where I don′t belong
Another day
Has passed me by
And it's not because
I did not try

Why wasn′t I born
With orange skin
And green hair
Like the rest
Of the people in the world?
I was born blue
I was born blue


Another job
That I can't get
Another house
That I can't rent
Another place
That I can′t go
Rather than have me
They′re gonna close their doors

Why wasn't I born
With orange skin
And green hair
Like the rest
Of the people in the world?
I was born blue
I was born blue

Why am I the target
Of hate and abuse?
When things go wrong
Why am I the first to be accused?
Am I asking more
Than anybody else?
When I try for the opportunity to help myself?


Why wasn′t I born
With orange skin
And green hair
Like the rest
Of the people in the world?
I was born blue
I was born blue

I was born blue
