Love's Been Linked To The Blues - David Olney

It was in the morning papers, the evening papers too

And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true

This is no idle rumor, they’ve got the cold hard facts

They’ve even checked it out on little mice and rats

Just in case you haven’t heard, I’ll give you the bad news

Love’s been linked to the blues

You start out feeling happy but then love brings you down

You’re acting like a hero;

you end up like a clown

In study after study, it’s the heart that gets broke

They’re working 'round the clock searching for the antidote

Well, it’s true that it’s sad, but it’s sadder that it’s true

Love’s been linked to the blues

So you’ve got to be real careful and always on your guard

Falling in love, you know, it’s harmful to your heart

It’s worse than they suspected, it’s as bad as it gets

The surgeon general says, «You're better off with cigarettes»

If you must have your bad habits

Why don’t you stick to booze

'Cause love’s been linked to the blues?

Well, it’s true that its sad, but it’s sadder that it’s true

Love’s been linked to the blues
