lyrics

Mr. Blue

There’s a man standing at my door
I recognize his knock; you know I heard it before,
He must have heard you walked out on me
And now he figures that I need the company

Mr. Blue – is knockin’ on my door
Mr. Blue – I've heard him before
Mr. Blue – he won’t go away
Whenever you leave, Mr. Blue - he comes to stay

Now he’s a little ole man about five-foot-three
He wears little pin-stripes, has a little goatee,
A broad brimmed hat and a shine on his shoes, he’s –
Mister Rogers with an attitude

He's Mr. Blue – and he's knockin’ on my door
Mr. Blue – I've heard him before
Mr. Blue – he won’t go away
Whenever you leave, Mr. Blue comes to stay

Now he’s the king of darkness, the prince of gloom
He draws the shades in every room,
He's like a fog that just won’t lift
Even my dreams have a blueish tint

Mr. Blue – is knockin’ on my door
Mr. Blue – I've heard him before
Mr. Blue – he won’t go away
Whenever you leave Mr. Blue …. oh whenever you leave Mr. blue –
He comes to stay
