Lonely Blue Boy

My name should be trouble My name should be woe 'Cause trouble and heartaches are all that I know Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name My heart has been empty My life has been torn It must have been raining the day I was born Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name I'm so afraid of tomorrow So sick and tired of today They say that love is the answer But love never came my way I'm writing this letter to someone unknown And if you should find it and if you're alone Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name
