[Verse 1] Id been working at forgetting since you said goodbye Looking for some good times, the best money can buy But its a bad investment if theres no longterm dividends You cant buy happiness or heal a heart that just wont mend [Chorus] I never thought that Id be missing you this way I shouldve paid you more attention, but now its too late You can buy a night out on the town, you can buy a love boat cruise But you cant buy your way out of the blues No, you cant buy your way out of the blues You can spend your fool self silly, but your moneys all you lose Love like this cant be bought and paid for, and thats the truth No, you cant buy your way out of the blues [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] My pocketbook is empty, but Im still feeling bad I might as well admit it, youre the last good time I had Its been a highpriced lesson, I cant justify the cost I tried buying off your memory, but its all in vain because [Chorus] I never thought that Id be missing you this way I shouldve paid you more attention, but now its too late You can buy a night out on the town, you can buy a love boat cruise But you cant buy your way out of the blues No, you cant buy your way out of the blues You can spend your fool self silly, but your moneys all you lose Love like this cant be bought and paid for, and thats the truth No, you cant buy your way out of the blues [Outro] Love like this cant be bought and paid for, and thats the truth No, you cant buy your way out of the blues
