And though it`s only a whim, she thinks of him.

Tell me oh, what can I do.

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

Solo

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
