Born to Be Blue Lyrics by The Judds

The Judds Collection

1990

[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just don't know
Will I ever fall in love
And never have to worry
That I'm fallin' all alone?
Maybe it's true
I was just born to be blue
Maybe it's true
I was just born to be blue
[Verse 2]
They say everybody's got a someone
A sweet somebody to love
It might be fate or destiny
Maybe written in the stars above
But I can't help but wonder
After all that I've been through
Maybe my baby's nowhere to be found
And I was just born to be blue
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Was I born to be unhappy?
Just to live on heartache street
Was I born to go to bed each night
And cry myself to sleep?
Can somebody out there help me?
Give me some kind of clue
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
But don't tell me I was born to be blue
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
They say nobody dies from a heartache
You can't drown in your own tears
But who wants to live in this world alone
Where minutes turn into years?
So I'd rather go down believin'
Suffer a heartache or two
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
But don't tell me I was born to be blue
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Yeah
[Outro]
Was I born to be blue?
Born just to cry?
Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
Somebody tell me
Was I born to be loved?
Born to be kissed?
Born to find the one to show me what I missed?
Was I born to be blue?
Born just to cry?
Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
Tell me, mama
Was I born to be loved?
Born to be kissed?
Born to find the one to show me what I missed? (Rrr)
Can I get a witness?
Was I born to be blue?
Born just to cry?
Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
