If you wrote me a letter today
And you said that you was coming back to stay
Well, you know that I'd believe you, even though it isn't true
But I'd need a vaccination, a shot for the blues

I sit and wonder and I cry, cry, cry
I get so lonely I could die, yes die
I know if you came back, you'd probably be untrue
But I'd need a vaccination, a shot for the blues

If the one you love just took off for another
Well, she got right up and she walked right out the door
Well you know she didn't love you and there's one thing you do
But you'd need a vaccination, a shot for the blues

I sit and wonder and I cry, cry, cry
I get so lonely I could die, yes die
I know if you came back, you'd probably be untrue
But I'd need a vaccination, a shot for the blues

And I'd need a vaccination, a shot for the blues
