Song

Baby's In Black

Release date: 04 December 1964

Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue.
Tell me oh, what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue.
Tell me oh, what can I do?

I think of her but she thinks only of him,
And though it's only a whim,
She thinks of him.

Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made.
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue.
Tell me Oh, what can I do?

I think of her but she thinks only of him,
And though it's only a whim,
She thinks of him

Oh, how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made.
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue.
Tell me Oh, what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

Oh, dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue.
Tell me oh, what can I do?
