(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)
