I'd been working at forgetting
Since you said goodbye
Looking for some good times
The best money can buy
But it's a bad investment
There's no long-term dividends
You can't buy happiness
Or heal a heart that just won't mend
I never thought
That I'd be missing you this way
I should've paid you more attention
But now it's too late
You can buy a night out on the town
You can buy a love boat cruise
But you can't buy your way out of the blues
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues
You can spend your fool self silly
But your money's all you lose
Love like this can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues
My pocketbook is empty
But I'm still feeling bad
I might as well admit it
You're the last good time I had
It's been a high-priced lesson
I can't justify the cost
I tried buying off your memory
But it's all in vain because
I never thought
That I'd be missing you this way
I should've paid you more attention
But now it's too late
You can buy a night out on the town
You can buy a love boat cruise
But you can't buy your way out of the blues
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues
You can spend your fool self silly
But your money's all you lose
Love like this can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues
Love like this can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues
