Crossword Blues Lyrics

I used to be light hearted
And my love was free from pain
I used to be light hearted
And my love was free from pain
But now I'm livin' to regret it
The first time I heard your name
How could you be so foolish
To let him work his charms on you
How could you be so foolish
To let him work his charms on you

When you know as well as I do
He's gonna quit you when he's through
Lately I've been learnin'
To do the crossword everyday
Lately I've been learnin'
To do the crossword everyday
Its just one of those things I'm gonna need
To while my lonely hours away
