Blue Boy
Lost Love Melody: Embracing the Blues in Neil Sedaka's 'Blue Boy'
Lyrics
I was so happy when you were mine
I experienced great joy when you were my partner.
You said you loved me it felt so fine
You expressed love for me, and it brought me immense happiness.
But now it hurts me you went away
It pains me now that you have left.
What can I do? What can I say?
I'm left wondering what actions or words could have changed this outcome.
Hey, now, everybody calls me blue boy
People now commonly refer to me as "blue boy," suggesting my sadness.
Hey, now, since you told me we were through
My mood has turned blue since you informed me that our relationship is over.
Hey, now, now I know you're with a new boy
I've come to realize that you are now involved with someone new.
I'm such a blue boy 'Cause I lost you
I am feeling down and sorrowful because I lost you.
I guess I'm foolish (I'm foolish)
I acknowledge my foolishness in the situation.
I'll never learn (never learn)
I seem unable to grasp the lesson from this experience.
But I'm still hoping (still hoping)
Despite the pain, I still hold onto hope for your return.
That you'll return (you'll return)
I anticipate the possibility of you coming back.
Until our love is like it used to be
Until our love is restored to its former state,
I'll just pretend you're here with me
I choose to imagine your presence with me.
Hey, now, everybody calls me blue boy
Similar to before, people continue to label me as "blue boy."
Hey, now, since you told me we were through
My emotional state remains blue since the revelation of our breakup.
Hey, now, now I know you're with a new boy
I am aware that you have moved on to a new relationship.
I'm such a blue boy 'Cause I lost you
My current emotional state is one of sadness due to losing you.
Hey, now, everybody calls me blue boy
Once again, people refer to me as "blue boy."
Hey, now, everybody calls me blue boy
My nickname persists, emphasizing the enduring impact of the breakup.
Hey, now, everybody calls me blue boy
The term "blue boy" is still used to describe my emotional state by everyone.
