Elvis Presley
~Moody Blue~
(Words & Music by Mark James & Elvis Presley)

Well, it's hard to be a gambler
Bettin' on the number
That changes ev'ry time
When you think you're gonna win
Think she's givin' in
A stranger's all you find
Yeah, it's hard to figure out
What she's all about
When she's woman through and through
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby moody Blue,

Oh, Moody Blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody Blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like night and day
It's hard to say
Which one is you.

Well, when Monday comes she's Tuesday,
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She's not the person that
I thought I knew
She's a complicated lady,
So color my baby moody blue,

Oh, Moody Blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do
Yeah, Moody Blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like night and day
It's hard to say
Which one is you.

Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like night and day
It's hard to say
Which one is you.

Yeah, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through
I keep hangin' on
Trying to learn the song
But I never do

The last Elvis Presley album released in his
lifetime, Moody Blue has a somewhat checkered
history, especially among fans. Issued two
months before Presley died, the album sold
moderately well until Presley died - then it
soared up the charts to number three, as his
most current album, and it ultimately sold two
million copies.
