  • With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
    The only thing I ever get from you
    Is sorrow, sorrow

    You're actin' funny spendin' all my money
    You're out there playin' your high class games
    Sorrow, sorrow

    You never do what you know you oughta
    Somethin' tells me you're the devil's daughter
    Sorrow, sorrow

    Ah, ah, ah

    I tried to fight her but I can't resist her
    I never knew just how much I missed her
    Sorrow, sorrow

    With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
    The only thing I ever got from you
    Was sorrow, sorrow
    Ah, ah, ah

    With your long blonde hair
    I couldn't sleep last night
    With your long blonde hair Writer/s: Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, Richard Gottehrer
