I can never write a love song
 I can never write a blue song
 When I'm in love I am a lover
 And I have always had the blues

 I am afraid that no one sees me
 What will they say when I am gone
 It occurs to me I think I miss you
 I think I've missed you all along

 Out of the corner of my eye (out of the corner of my eye)
 Not sure if I should think these things of you
 Is it the wrong place at the wrong time
 I think it's just my turn to lose

 Thoughts of you could give me smile lines
 I laugh myself to sleep because I knew (I knew)
 We were talking ‘bout a fine line
 It depends on who you're talking to

 If it's any consolation
 The blues have always had me too
 And if I ever write a love song
 I think I'll write it about you
