I'd been workin' at forgettin' since you said goodbye,
|
Lookin' for some good times, the best money can buy.
|
But it's a bad investment, there's no long term dividends.
|
You can't buy happiness or heal a heart theat just won't mend.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
|
I should've paid you more attention, but now it's too late.
|
You can buy a night out on the town, you can buy a loveboat cruise,
|
But you can't buy your way out of the blues.
|
|
No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
|
You can spend your fool self silly, but your money's all you lose.
|
Loveluck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth.
|
No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
|
|
My pocketbook is empty, but I'm still feelin' bad.
|
I might as well admit it- you're the last good time I had.
|
It's been a high- priced lesson, I can't justify the cost.
|
I tried buying off your memory, but it's all in vain because
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth.
|
No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
