I'd have time on my hands
Time to make some plans
Time to take a different point of view
I'd have time to be alone
Time to stay out all night long
But you know
I'm too busy being blue.

I'd have time to fool around
Time to paint the town
Time to spend each night with someone new
Time to take a walk
Time to sit and talk
But you know
I'm too busy being blue.

I'd have time to leave behind
Thoughts of you and all your kind
Time to leave behind the world we knew
But I'm still occupied
Just remembering how we cried
And you know
I'm too busy being blue...
