R: Oh dear what can I do
baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
tell me oh what can I do?

1. She thinks of him
and so she dresses in black
and though he'll never come back
she's dressed in black.

R: Oh dear...

2. I think of her
but she thinks only of him
and though it's only a whim
she thinks of him.

*: Oh how long will it take
till she sees the mistake
she has made
dear what can I do
baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
tell me oh what can I do?

*: Oh how long will it take...

3. She thinks of him
and so she dresses in black
and though he'll never come back
she's dressed in black.

R: Oh dear...
