My friends said I had it comin' But I kept right on ahead, Believed in every word you told me, Never listened to a word they said, It hit me like a train steamin' down the track, Stuck me like a knife in the middle of the back. He's been hangin' around you, baby, Like a dog, and you's the bone, He knew that we had problems, He knew that you were all alone, It hit me like a train steamin' down the track, Stuck me like a knife in the middle of the back. [chorus] I hope you understand just why you're blue. I hope you understand just why you're blue. I guess you never knew how I loved you, Never listened to a word I said, How I stuck up for your dumb behaviour, And kept lookin' straight ahead, I never did a mean thing to you in my life, But you stuck me in the back with a big sharp knife. [chorus] I hope he's in love with you, baby, When he looks into Your big brown eyes, I don't expect Your gonna be happy, When Your love's built on cheatin' and lies, I never did a mean thing to you in my life, But you stuck me in the back with a big sharp knife. I hope you understand just why you're blue.
