Love's Been Linked To The Blues Lyrics - Singles - David Olney

It was in the morning papers, the evening papers too 

And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true 

This is no idle rumor, they've got the cold hard facts 

They've even checked it out on little mice and rats 

Just in case you haven't heard, I'll give you the bad news 

Love's been linked to the blues 

You start out feeling happy but then love brings you down 

You're acting like a hero; you end up like a clown 

In study after study, it's the heart that gets broke 

They're working 'round the clock searching for the antidote 

Well, it's true that it's sad,but it's sadder that it's true 

Love's been linked to the blues 

So you've got to be real careful and always on your guard 

Falling in love, you know, it's harmful to your heart 

It's worse than they suspected, it's as bad as it gets 

The surgeon general says, "You're better off with cigarettes" 

If you must have your bad habits 

Why don't you stick to booze 

'Cause love's been linked to the blues? 

Well, it's true that its sad, but it's sadder that it's true 

Love's been linked to the blues
