You remind me of a girl I used to know,
I used to love her on the summer sundays
She would tease me and then off she'd go
Leave me crying in the desert haze

Yesterday, I took you down the river I used to go
I brought along our favourite radio
You sang a song to me right from the heart
You said - just like her - we'd never part

I got red blood, and I got red wine
I can't tell the truth, all of the time
My God above, he don't answer me, he makes me...cry
And I won't ever know the reason why

Red blood, and red red wine, oh my
Please don't ask me for the reason why
It took me years to get away from loving you
And many other girls they broke me, too

Winter came, winter went and left me in spring rain
I couldn't tell you just how much pain
I went through, to get to you, to get away
I should have saved my love for another day

I got red blood, and I got red, red, red wine
I've been in love, and I just lose it every single time
Red blood, and the reddest wine I've ever seen
I can't tell you just how long it's been

Red blood, red wine, I got red, red, red all over me
You put red, red, red all over me
And I can't, well I just can't get free of this
Red blood, and red red wine, oh my
Seems I lose my mind all the time...
