For months she’s a perfect wife and a mother You’d never dream that things could go so wrong But like a cloud across the skies   I see the sadness fill her eyes Then one day I’ll come in and she’ll be gone When baby gets the blues my world turns over While she’s out somewhere with her bright lights and her booze Until the day she comes back home ashamed and sober My world stops turning when baby gets the blues As long as she has me I know I’ll keep forgiving Though I’m afraid of how much I’ll someday lose I just can’t tell you what a happy world that I live in In between the times that my baby gets them ol’ blues When baby gets the blues my world turns over While she’s out somewhere with her bright lights and her booze Until the day she comes back home ashamed and sober My world turns over when baby gets the blues My world turns over when baby gets the blues
