Everybody writes a love song about a teardrop and broken heart
Not me, I'm writin' love songs that a Sears & Roebuck crowbar couldn't pry apart
As you lay here darlin' your body looks just right
Let's tell the blues to take off tonight

When I tell people how much I love you, they just look at me and frown
That's exactly the way I feel, thank God the word is still around
So I never, never, never, never gonna let you out of my sight
So let's tell the blues to take off tonight

I know two people can still fall in love
It's in the good Lord's heart, he can bless you from above
And as we lay here darlin', your sweet body looks just right
So let's get back in bed and make love for the second time

I know two people can still fall in love
It's in the good Lord's heart, he can bless you from above
And as we lay here darlin', your sweet body next to mine
Please let's get back in bed and make love for the second time

Everybody writes love songs about teardrops and broken hearts
Not me, I'm writin' love songs that a Sears & Roebuck crowbar couldn't pry apart
As you lay here darlin', your body looks just right
Let's tell the blues to take, why don't we tell the blues to take
Why don't we tell the blues to take off tonight?

Bye-bye blues
