David Olney - Love's Been Linked to the BluesLyrics

It was in the morning papers, the evening papers too And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true This is no idle rumor, they've got the cold hard facts They've even checked it out on little mice and rats Just in case you haven't heard, I'll give you the bad news Love's been linked to the blues You start out feeling happy but then love brings you down You're acting like a hero; you end up like a clown In study after study, it's the heart that gets broke They're working 'round the clock searching for the antidote Well, it's true that it's sad,but it's sadder that it's true Love's been linked to the blues So you've got to be real careful and always on your guard Falling in love, you know, it's harmful to your heart It's worse than they suspected, it's as bad as it gets The surgeon general says, "You're better off with cigarettes" If you must have your bad habits Why don't you stick to booze 'Cause love's been linked to the blues? Well, it's true that its sad, but it's sadder that it's true Love's been linked to the blues
