Going out each day to score, she was no whore but for me Celebrating every day the way she thought it should be And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue She was always by my side and never tried to leave Standing up for me and like a tree for what she believed And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue Don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue No more rope and too much dope, she's lying on the bed Angels pacing, gently placing roses 'round her head And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue Now I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue Now I don't know what to do
