Been turned around, headed for the lights of town
When you paint the town
But you don't call and I won't hurt my pride
I'm painting it too but I'm painting it blue
I won't tell you
Call me mister
So if you decide to call on me
I sleep alone each night
Provin' your love is untrue
But you don't call and I won't hurt my pride
Call me Mr. Blue
I sleep alone each night
Hurtin' me through and through
Wait by the phone each night
I'm Mr. Blue when you say, you love me
Call me Mr. Blue
A bright red to turn it upside down
When you paint the town
That your love is true
Like him I am doubtful
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too but I'm painting it blue
It lost all its glitter the day you said, no
Call me mister
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Wait by the phone each night
Call me Mr. Blue
I won't tell you
And its gray sky's turned blue
I'm Mr. Blue when you say, you're sorry
Ask for Mr. Blue
