[Verse 1]
Can't you see? That dark old cloud, it keeps on following me, mm
It stays with me everywhere I go in the rain
What have I done to get this way?
Misery, it's got a strangle-hold now over me, mm
I can't shake it off, no matter what I do
And the tears are confirmation of all my fears

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to leave me this way?
Why'd you have to turn my colors grey?
Wasn't long ago I heard you say you'd stay forever

[Verse 2]
Hey, I know, well, I'm no saint, but there you go
But I try and I promise I'll improve as time goes by
Wait and see, you won't believe the change in mе
Give me time, thеre must be something I can do to change your mind
And you'll see, I'll be nothing like before I used to be
Wait and see, you know I want you to stay forever

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to leave me this way?
Why'd you have to turn my colors grey?
Wasn't long ago I heard you say you'd stay forever
You'd stay forever
Can't you see the dark old cloud that keeps on following me?
