[Verse 1]

I'm gonna paint your pockets a pitiful shade of blue

'Cause I'm gonna take all your green away from you, baby

Going out to paint the town red

From one end to the other

Yes I am

I'm gonna send you packing home, little boy

All alone to your mother

Uh-huh


[Chorus]

'Cause I'm through

I'm through with messin' around with you

Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah

You know I'm through with messin' around with you

You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown

And baby, I ain't taking it laying down

No, no


[Verse 2]

Gonna find me a new dress

Something sweet and pale yellow

I'm gonna find me a new lover man who's cool and oh so mellow, baby

I'm taking everything

Even the kitchen sink

Yes I am

I'll tell ya, baby

The last thing you'll see of me are the

Taillights of my Cadillac, pretty pink

Uh-huh


[Chorus]

'Cause I'm through

I'm through with messin' around with you

Uh-huh

Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah

You know I'm through with messin' around with you

You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown

And baby, I ain't taking it laying down

No, no

Tell me 'bout it


[Chorus]

'Cause I'm through

I'm through with messin' around with you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah

You know I'm through with messin' around with you

Uh-huh

You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown

And baby, I ain't taking it laying down

No, no


[Verse 3]

I'm gonna paint your pockets a pitiful shade of blue

'Cause I'm gonna take all your green away from you daily

Going out to paint the town red

From one end to the other

Uh-huh

I'm gonna send you packing home, little boy

All alone to your mother

She gonna ask you why


[Chorus]

'Cause I'm through

Yeah, I'm through with messin' around with you

Uh-huh

Yeah, baby, I'm through, yeah

You know I'm through with messin' around with you

Uh-huh

You traded in my blue eyes for one whose are brown

And baby, I ain't taking it laying down

No
