Blue Avenue Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gotta quit this habit
It's like some drug for you
You've been my sweet, sweet addict
I've been your little white boy blue
You've got the same obsession
We ain't no cat and mouse
You linger on my lips like confession
You laid the traps in this house

[Chorus]
And it's no use, each way we lose
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
Hit and run, hearts collide here
True love passes through
Looks like we've got a wreck, babe
Up on Blue Avenue
Up on Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue

[Verse 2]
Two hearts get entangled
Dirty minds, they go to town
Everyone's got an angle
Little lies get spread around
Let them say what they want
You and me, we already knew
Takes more than hocus pocus, babe
To save you from Blue Avenue
[Chorus]
And it's no use, each way we lose
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
Hit and run, hearts collide here
True love passes through
Looks like we've got a wreck, baby
Up on Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And it's no use, each way we lose
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
Hit and run, hearts collide here
True love passes through
Looks like we've got a wreck, babe
Up on Blue Avenue
Up on Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
