If love is an art form some women have a special talent for turning the greatest happiness into exquisite pain. This lover is obviously reflecting on the cautionary tale of Van Gogh and what he did for love.

You can make me holler
You can make me scream
You can bring me joy
Give me real bad dreams
You can heat me up
Just like a spicy hot meal
But as soon as things seem right
Those good feelings you then steal

Y’know I’ve heard it said
We are what we think
We are what we do
And what you’re thinking and doing baby
Is giving me the Van Gogh Blues

You’re just like an artist
Works in pleasure and pain
But the way you do it baby
Can drive any man insane
You’re ruthless like a cat
That’s playing with a mouse
You step on my tongue
After you have it hanging out

Chorus:

Ain’t gonna cut off my ear
Get locked up somewhere out of view
But I’m gonna stop staying with someone
Who gives me the Van Gogh Blues…Van Gogh Blues
                                                                       
Chorus:
                                                                       
And what you thinking and doing baby
Is giving me the Van Gogh Blues
Van Gogh  Van Gogh Blues
The Van Gogh Blues Van Gogh
Van Gogh Blues                                                                
This must be kinda like                                 
All the things Vincent was going through
I’ve got the Van Gogh Blues Van Gogh Van Gogh Blues
The Van Gogh Blues Van Gogh Van Gogh Blues
What you’re thinking and doing baby
Is giving me the Van Gogh Blues
