It was more than the blues, you slaughtered Valentine's Day
 
 Why don't you send your pretty flowers to my grave?
 
 Cause it was more than the blues, 'cause this is February
 
 And high upon the roof I hear the rain
 
 Tell me why is it necessary for
 
 These winter months to make my bones so sore
 
 Tell me why is it necessary for me
 
 I got to feel the pain from the year before
 
  
  It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
 
 It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
  
 
 Why don't you ask her of the massacre?
 
 I'm sure her face will tell it all.
 
 Did you see my face on her picture wall when you were there?
 
 And after there was laughter and her friends all threw a ball
 
 While I cried all night in the bathroom stall
 
 Now the chocolates melted wet
 
 I saw Ms. Candy Heart with Mr. Cigarette
 
 While the band played vulgar symphonettes
 
 That's when I tried to steal your heart again
 
 But you looked just like the Jezebel
 
 Flushed pink and red and you were drunk as hell.
 
 Well, St. Valentines ring the holy bell
 
 It looks like cupid's arrow fell.
  
 
 It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
 
 It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
  
 
 Some things take some time but I can't lag behind
 
 There's only fourteen days this month and then a day
 
 But when spring comes, I never want to go out in the sun
 
 Then I get the shakes around Labor Day
 
 Some things take some time you know
 
 Some things take some time you know
 
 Some things take some time you know
  
 
 It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
 
 It was a massacre on Valentine's Day
 
 Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
