Song Lyrics

One morning when I was out shopping
Though you'll find it hard to believe
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"
"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

I hurried back to my apartment
I rushed in and I closed the door
But there on the desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"
"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

For weeks after that I was haunted
Though no one could see him but me
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be

One evening in wild desperation
I rushed to a rooftop in town
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me all the way down

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"
"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!"
I smiled as I hurried outside
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye

"I don't wuv you anymore!"
