Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can see you over there, staring at your drink
Watchin' that ice sink, all alone tonight
And chances are, you're sittin' here in this bar
'Cause he ain't gonna treat you right
[Verse 2]
Well, it's probably not my place
But I'm gonna say it anyway
'Cause you look like
You haven't felt the fire, had a little fun
Hadn't had a smile in a little while, baby
[Chorus]
Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
But darlin', it don't match your eyes
I'm tellin' you, you don't need that guy
It's so black and white
He's stealin' your thunder
Baby, blue ain't your color
[Verse 3]
I'm not tryna be another just
Pick you up kinda guy
Tryna drink you up
Tryna take you home
But I just don't understand
How another man can take your sun
And turn it ice-cold
[Verse 4]
Well, I've had enough to drink
And it's makin' me think that I just might
Tell you, if I were a painter, I wouldn't change ya
I'd just paint you bright, baby
[Chorus]
'Cause blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
But darlin', it don't match your eyes
I'm tellin' you, you don't need that guy
It's so black and white
He's stealin' your thunder
Baby, blue ain't your color
[Bridge]
No, no, no, mmm
It ain't your color, baby
Mmm, baby
[Chorus]
Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
But darlin', it don't match your eyes
I'm tellin' you, you don't need that guy
It's so black and white
He's stealin' your thunder
Baby, blue ain't your color
[Outro]
Blue ain't your color, mmm
No, no, baby
Come here, baby
Let me light up your world
