lyrics

You keep tellin' me I got the right stuff
Guess you don't think my heart's been knocked around enough
You keep actin' like you haven't won yet,
Tell me, just how blue do I have to get
How blue do I have to get

How blue, do you want me to be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
How long, do you think it'll take
Before I'm drowning in another heartache
Is there another color I haven't been through
One step closer to you
Tell me how blue

You tell me life is for the lucky and love is just the same
Got to take a little gamble if you want to win the game
When I'm walkin' on the wire, you're gonna pull the net
How blue do I have to get
How blue do I have to get

How blue, do you want me to be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
How long, before you're sure
That I'm just the fool you've been takin' me for
You tell me you hate to see me cry
But sometimes I think that you lie

Well I used to think I could turn it around
Keep my head above water, and my feet on the ground
Suddenly I'm slipping out of view

How blue, do you want me to be
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
How long, do you think it'll take
Before I'm drowning in another heartache
Is there another color I haven't been through
One step closer to you
Tell me how blue (how blue)
Tell me how blue (how blue)

Original members Sherry Rayn Barnett (lead guitar), Suzanna Spring (lead vocals/guitar) and Holly Montgomery (bass/vocals) are joined by Aubrey Richmond (fiddle/vocals) and Suzanne Morissette (drums/percussion/vocals). ... more
