baby, you make me blue

just one little moment, 

nothing out of the way 

a few seconds for a text, 

a call to just say Hey 

something that would have really 

added to my day 

baby, you make me blue 

just one little thought, 

just poetry to me 

just a few words penned, 

a rhyme for me to read 

no hints of anything special

you'd never plant that seed

baby, you make me blue 

I know I ask a lot 

and you won't make that climb 

if I don't expect much

disappointment won't be mine

I always end up begging, 

begging for more of your time 

baby, you make me blue 

it's all sorted in piles 

like laundry that needs done

the hamper overflowing 

waiting for wash day to come 

pretty soon there's nothing, 

nothing clean to don 

baby, you make me blue
