Black is black, I want my baby back
It's grey, it's grey, since she went away, oh oh
What can I do, 'cause I, I'm feelin' blue

If I had my way, she'd be here today
But she'd go in time, and leave me to cry again, oh no
What can I do, cause I, I'm feelin' blue

I can't choose, it's too much to lose when our love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me, then I can't go wrong
Bad is bad, that I feel so sad

It's time, it's time, that I felt peace of mind, oh oh
What can I do, cause I, I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose, it's too much to lose when our love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me, then I can't go wrong

Black is black, I want my baby back
It's grey, it's grey, since she went away, oh oh
What can I do, 'cause I, I'm feelin' blue
'Cause I, I'm feelin' blue, 'cause I, I'm feelin' blue

I remember hearing this song in the car and on transistor radios everywhere I went with my parents when I was in kindergarten and early elementary school... It fit right in with the Tom Jones and Paul Revere songs popular at the time... Happy memories; my head floating in the breeze...

Thought this was Keep on Running intro. 1966. How can that be?

How could this not be a 10? I was up dancing these 63 year old bones around when the first three notes came out of the speakers! Thanks RP!

Almost the last thing I did prior to leaving the UK was to enter a  "Battle of the bands"  as a conscript to to do lead on this song.  A song, btw that we learned in an afternoon. We surpized the hell out of ourselves and got through to the top 3, but were beaten by a band of Beatle clones who did  "Love me Do".
Huh.

I played this song many times on drums with my 60's band. Everyone on the dance floor. Great song.
