Two Times Blue

(--- speculated lyrics ---)

When you tell me that I'm a double timer
Well to me this doesn't add up
You can call me Miss Calculation
But I can't give up
I love you through and through

Well maybe I could've been better
Yeah, maybe I've been kind of bad
But I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go

So can you tell me, how do you measure
how the bittersweet takes over your mouth
And when the taste is too hard to swallow
Well that's what the sugar's all about

So how can we get back to basics before I go down for the count
Because I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go

You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you keep it
First you try it, then you leave it
You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you need it
First you try it, then you need it

I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
You'll be two times blue

comments

quoted from the VH1.com article 'Deborah Harry: Track by Track':

"This song was a funny thing that just happened really quickly. We were near the end [of recording], and I woke up really early one morning and I turned on morning TV which I don't usually do and there was this really incredible documentary on about the blues. It was so great and it was such a great documentary. I was trying to write more songs and I started playing around with the words and I thought of the phrase "Two Times Blue." Then I heard the music and started writing the lyrics and it was one of those things -- it was very spontaneous and it happened really fast."
