My heart was all dressed up to go dancing I had a brand new shine on my views The roses you sent for, the line that I went for Was just an invitation to the blues. The very thought of love was entrancing, I figured I had nothing to lose; Your smile so elusive, your kiss so exclusive Was just an invitation to the blues. I went to town, priced a wedding gown Put my little red book on the shelf Hired a hall, got the band and all And marched down the aisle by myself I guess you can't depend on romancing It puts your heart right down in your shoes Instead of a wedding for hich I was heading I got an invitation to the blues.
