(Mark Lennon & Rick Boston)
The blue paint is chipping from my heart
And pretty soon it's gonna be that luscious shade of red
Just like the apple for the picking
Don't hesitate another minute
Just take me now instead
I used to be another lonely boy
Some things in life I just could not enjoy
Felt my heart had been painted blue
Although I heard it said a million times
I finally paid attention to the line
You can't love some 'til you start loving you
How true
That's why the blue paint is chipping from my heart
And pretty soon it's gonna be that luscious shade of red
Just like the apple for the picking
Don't hesitate another minute, just take me now instead
I used to start and then apologize
Now I get invitations from inviting eyes
Can't keep up with these open doors
It's kind of funny feeling where I'm at
0 to 60 babe in no time flat
Now I know when it rains it pours
Because the blue paint
(Chorus)
