Lyrics
Now those might be the saddest big ol’ baby blues I ever seen
How did I know you’ve been cryin’
Baby, you got makeup running down your cheek
You’re just a queen lookin’ for a crown
Lost when you stumbled over some silly clown
Take that frown, turn it upside down
‘Cause you never know who might be fallin’ in love with your smile
A broken heart that’s on the mend takes a little time I realize
And right now you wouldn’t know true love if it looked you in the eye
Girl, I did my best, I really tried to make you grin
And before I say goodbye I’m gonna tell you again
To take your frown, turn it upside down
Oh, you never know who might be fallin’ in love with your smile
Take your frown, turn it upside down
Oh, you never know who might be fallin’ in love with your smile
Those might be the saddest big ol’ baby blues I ever seen
