[Verse 1]
If I seem kind of blue to you,
It s just cause I m not getting ...through to you,
And I ll do any - thing you want me to,
Just so we can get a - long!
[Verse 2]
^ ^ And if I should have a mind to say,
What is it makes you want to ...be this way?
Could be to - day s just not my... lucky day,
And I... can t do right for doing wrong!
[Verse 3]
^ ^ I ve told you what you mean to me,
I ve even told you what you ve ...been--- to me,
I wish we could be where we both be - long,
But I ...can t do right for doing wrong!
[Verse 4]
I say too little, or I say too much,
I see no recognition in your eyes,
I try to fix it with a tender touch,
But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!
[Verse 5]
Sometimes when I don t have much time to stay,
I ll make a move, and watch you ...turn a - way,
I ll hesi - tate when I should come on strong,
But I ...can t do right for doing wrong! | / / / / |

[Verse 6]
I say too little, or I say too much,
I see no recognition in your eyes,
I try to fix it with a tender touch,
But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!
[Verse 7]
And we could get to where we want to be,
With just a little faith, and... hone - sty
Instead of drifting where we don t be - long,
But I ...can t do right for doing wrong,
Can t do right for doing wrong----------! | / / / / |
