busy being blue

i'd have time on my hands

time to make some plans

time to take a different point of view

time to take a walk

and time to sit and talk

but you know i'm too busy bein' blue

i'd have time to fool around

time to paint the town

time to spend each night

with someone new

time to be alone

and time to stay out all night long

but you know i'm too busy bein' blue

i'd have time to leave behind

for to you and all your kind

time to leave behind the world we knew

but i'm still occupied

just rememberin' how we cried

but you know i'm too busy bein' blue

i'd have time on my hands

time to make some plans

time to take a different point of view

time to take a walk

and time to sit and talk

but you know i'm too busy bein' blue
