  • I can see you over there
    Staring at your drink
    Watchin' that ice sink
    All alone tonight

    And chances are
    You're sittin' here in this bar
    'Cause he ain't gonna treat you right
    Well, it's probably not my place
    But I'm gonna say it anyway
    'Cause you look like
    You haven't felt the fire
    Had a little fun
    Hadn't had a smile in a little while
    Baby

    Blue looks good on the sky
    Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
    But darling, it don't match your eyes
    I'm tellin' you
    You don't need that guy
    It's so black and white
    He's stealin' your thunder
    Baby, blue ain't your color

    I'm not tryna
    Be another just
    Pick you up
    Kinda guy
    Tryna drink you up
    Tryna take you home
    But I just don't understand
    How another man
    Can take your sun
    And turn it ice cold

    Well, I've had enough to drink
    And it's makin'
    Me think that I just might
    Tell you if I were a painter I wouldn't change ya
    I'd just paint you bright
    Baby

    'Cause blue looks good on the sky
    Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
    But darling, it don't match your eyes
    I'm tellin' you
    You don't need that guy
    It's so black and white
    He's stealin' your thunder
    Baby, blue ain't your color
    No, no, no, mmm
    It ain't your colour, baby
    Mmm, baby

    Blue looks good on the sky
    Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall
    But darling, it don't match your eyes
    I'm tellin' you
    You don't need that guy
    It's so black and white
    He's stealin' your thunder
    Baby, blue ain't your color

    Blue ain't your color, mmm, mmm
    No, no baby
    Huh, come here, baby
    Let me light up your world Writer/s: Clint Lagerberg, Hillary Lindsey, Steven Olsen
