Flying Colors

When you walked out of my life

I didn't think that I'd survive

Hope was growing dimmer day by day

But much to my surprise

Lord I made it out alive

An' my world is looking anything but grey

I came through with flyin' colors

A little black and blue

From the wear and tear

But love got the best of me

An' I turn green with jealousy

When you made it crystal clear you did not care

I came through with flyin' colors

My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through

I should win the Purple Heart

'Cause you tore mine all apart

But I came through with flyin' colors

After losin' you

Yes I've got a yell'er streak

'Cause I know your places weak

An' I still get pale whenever you're in sight

I may shade out of my mind

Oh but I'm not color blind

'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white

I came through with flyin' colors

A little black and blue

From the wear and tear

But love got the best of me

An' I turn green with jealousy

When you made it crystal clear you did not care

I came through with flyin' colors

My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through

Oh I should win the Purple Heart

'Cause you tore mine all apart

But I came through with flyin' colors

After losin' you

Oh I should win the Purple Heart

'Cause you tore mine all apart

But I came through with flyin' colors

After losin' you
