How can I love if my love doesn’t love only me?
What have I done to deserve love that never can be?
Once you were just mine alone,
now you’re just someone I’ve known.
What can I do to change my Blue Destiny?
First you decide that our love will always be true,
Next think I know you’re runnin’ with somebody new.
I ask this heart everyday,
“Can there be some other way?”
What can I do to change my Blue Destiny?
There were times when love was new and our hearts were gay
Now, the signs say we’re thru and bound for separate ways.
Once you were mine and you wanted the whole world to know,
Now everytime I’m around you got somewhere to go.
Still I’d forgive all your lies, darling,
I realize, you, only you can change my Blue Destiny.
(Alternate lyrics from Paperback Songs)
Once you were mine,
and you wanted the whole world to know.
Now every time I’m around,
you’ve got somewhere to go.
I ask my heart everyday,
“Can there be some other way?”
Tell me, what can I do
to change my Blue Destiny?
First, you decide
that our love will always be true,
Next thing I know,
you’re running with somebody new.
Once you were mine just mine alone.
Now you’re just some-one I’ve known.
Tell me, what can I do
to change my Blue Destiny?
And there were times
when love was new
and both our hearts were gay.
But now the signs say we’re through
and bound for separate ways.
And how can you love
when your love doesn’t want you at all?
Girl, when you turn me away,
got my back to the wall.
Still, I forgive all your lies,
’cause darlin’, I realize
that it’s you, only you,
can change my Blue Destiny.
