Lyrics

What Shade of Blue

Written by Kenny Ray Horton

VERSE 1
Since you′ve come back
You don't like what you see
You always loved that
Technicolor me
But since you′ve left
Those colors won't come around
Tell me what shade of blue
Do you want now?

VERSE 2
I can give you somethin
In a little lighter shade
Let you think
That everything's OK
And walk with a smile
Around this town
Tell me what shade of blue
Do you want now

CHORUS
I′ve given my whole life
Trying to please you
Tried to give you all the reds
Yellows and greens too
But without your love
Those colors won′t come around
So tell me what shade of blue
Do you want now?

VERSE 3
I can give you something
Dark and all intense
And show you how I
Throw up my defenses
But you know
That's not me anyhow
So tell me what shade of blue
Do you want now

CHORUS
I′ve given my whole life
Trying to please you
Tried to give you all the reds
Yellows and greens too
But without your love
Those colors won't come around
So tell me what shade of blue
Do you want now?

OUTRO
Oooohhhh without your love
Those colors won′t come around
So tell me what shade of blue
Do you want
Now
