Say it's true, black and blue, I can share your situation Been holding our emotions back, will only make us cry If you go, I know, but you know, it ain't so serious anyway When the clouds arise we'll live on Ocean Drive Don't know why you're so blue Sun's gonna shine on everything you do And the sky is so blue Sun's gonna shine on everything you do He left you Black and blue, without a word of explanation And he took your love for granted and he left you high and dry You know someday, when you'll wonder what you see in him anyway What that days arrives we'll live on Ocean Drive Don't know why you're so blue Sun's gonna shine on everything you do And the sky is so blue Sun's gonna shine on everything you do
