Lyrics

A New Kind of Blue

1
So Bob and Billy-Jean finally called it quits
The reasons why she loved him had all become a blur
She said she needed space, and moved into her mothers
Oh but Bobby found another, and he moved in on her

ch
And two weeks later he found out
Yeah he found out
Just what he'd got himself into -
a whole new life
a whole new set of problems
and a brand new kind of blue

2
So he calls Billy-Jean and says "we gotta talk"
He's polishing his story as he comes in on the bus
He says "I been a fool, I surely was mistaken
about the road I've taken, I'm talking about us"

ch
But two words later he found out
that she was not the woman that he knew
And he looked twice
cos there was something different in her eyes -
a new kind of blue.

br
Nothing he can do but give it time
and trust her love rings true

3
She calls him in a week, she's going through some changes
She's just a little closer to seein' her way through
He says "it'd be strange, if we should end up strangers
cos one thing never changes - I belong with you"

ch
And two weeks later she comes round
and he wakes up
just as the sun is breaking through
He comes back to life -
a brand new day is dawning and the sky's
a new kind of blue.
