Blue, blue, my world is blue;
Blue is my world now I'm without you;
Gray, gray, my life is gray;
Cold is my heart since you went away.
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
Bridge:
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Repeat Intro:
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue;
Blue is my world now I'm without you.

It's not a bad old tune. I remember a girl classmate of mine sang it in front of our 5th grade class (in California, y'know). She did a nice job and I always regretted never telling her I thought so. We all clapped, though.

There was also a rumour that this song was actually a joke - the "hook" being the repeating line of a song. He supposedly wrote ti, never thinking it would actually play.
Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me
Girl, you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, girl, 'cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start clingin' to me, girl, 'cause I can't breathe
CHORUS
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seein' way too much in me
Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'cause I'll just leave you, I can't take no clingin' vine
CHORUS
