You’ve Got a Date With the Blues Songtext
von Helen Merrill

When the magic flame isn′t quite the same
When your friends ask you, "Haven't you heard the news?"
When it′s all over town that your castle fell down
You've got a date with the blues

If he used to say, "I'll call everyday"
But now he′s beginning to pick and choose
That′s your warning, my friend, you're approaching the end
You′ve got a date with the blues


If he used to be exclusively yours
Right at your beck and call
But now he's only elusively yours
You know that soon he won′t be yours at all

When he says goodbye, better ask him why
'Cause you know now you haven′t a thing to lose
And the last time you part, when he hands back your heart
You've got a date with the blues

If he promised you he'd be there at eight
Then wandered in at ten
Resign yourself to the obvious fate
It′s clear that you may never meet again


When he turns aside, don′t forget your pride
Never yearn for a kiss that he might refuse
Out of sight, out of mind, let him go, else you'll find
You′ve got a date with the blues
