Flying Colors

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you walked out of my life, I didn't think that I'd survive My hope was growing dimmer day by day But much to my surprise, Lord, I made it out alive And my world is looking anything but gray [Chorus] I came through with flying colors A little black and blue from the wear and tear But love got the best of me and I turn green with jealousy When you made it crystal clear you did not care I came through with flying colors My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flying colors after losin' you [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Yes, I've got a yeller streak 'cause I know your place is weak And I still get pale whenever you're in sight I may shade out of my mind, oh but I'm not color blind 'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white [Chorus] I came through with flying colors A little black and blue from the wear and tear But love got the best of me and I turn green with jealousy When you made it crystal clear you did not care I came through with flying colors My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flying colors after losin' you [Tag] I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flying colors after losin' you
