Lyrics I'd Rather Be Blue - Fanny Brice

I'd Rather Be Blue

Here I am, there you be
Miles and miles away from me
I can’t see the good in goodbye
Still best of friends have to part
Don’t lose sleep and don’t lose heart
No need, so baby don’t cry
I’d rather be blue thinking of you
I’d rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
I can’t live without ya, outcha
For you I’m strong
I’m crazy about’cha, outcha magoutcha
Don’t stay too long
I need a little ah, little ooh, little oh,
And I’m knocking on wood.
Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
It’s so hard to be good
I’d rather be blue thinking of you
I’d rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
Will I be good?
Will I be bad?
Don’t be a fool, you fool.
My little flat, I’m turning that
Into a Sunday school
While you’re away, I’m here to say
There’ll be no iceman there.
Singin' the blues I’m gonna use
Nothin' but Frigidaire.
I’d rather be blue thinking of you
I’d rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
Blue over you, I’d rather be blue over you
Than be hap-hap-hap-happy
With somebody else.
