Cornflakes and beer fill up my mornings. Heartaches and tears fill up my nights. And for the longest time I’ve tried and tried to get back with you. Tell me what can I do. I’m all naked and blue.

I’ve been a fool to take you for granted. Selfish and cruel, I hurt you so much. But if you’ll take me back, I promise that I’ll make it up to you. What more can I do? I feel naked and blue.

I know you’ll say … You’ve heard it all a thousand times. I’ve shifted blame, and I’ve told you lies. But not this time. I’ve got no excuse. I’ve nothing to hide. But I’ve got everything to lose.

I hope someday I’ll get another chance. You’ll see I’ve changed. And you’ll take me back. But if you can’t decide, don’t run and hide. We’ll try to work it through. It’s all up to you. I’m so naked and blue.

I never dreamed that you’d ever leave me. Never believed that we’d ever part. But if your heart is cold, I need to know. Just tell me that we’re through. It’s all up to you. I’m so naked and blue.

I know you’ll say … You’ve heard it all a thousand times. I’ve shifted blame, and I’ve told you lies. But not this time. I’ve got no excuse. I’ve nothing to hide. But I’ve got everything to lose.

I hope someday you’ll give me another chance. You’ll see I’ve changed. And you’ll take me back. But if you can’t decide, don’t run and hide. We’ll try to work it through. It’s all up to you. I’m so naked and blue.
