Debbie Harry

Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry (born July 1, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known as the lead singer of the new wave and punk rock band Blondie. She recorded several worldwide number one singles with Blondie during the 1970s and 1980s. She is sometimes considered the first rapper to chart at number one in the United States due to her work on "Rapture". She has also had success (mainly in Europe) as a solo artist before reforming Blondie in the late 1990s. Her acting career spans over sixty film roles and numerous television appearances.

Personal life and career beginnings

Harry was born in Miami, Florida, and adopted at three months by Catherine (Peters) and Richard Smith Harry, gift shop proprietors in Hawthorne, New Jersey. She attended Hawthorne High School, where she graduated in 1963. She graduated from Centenary College in Hackettstown, New Jersey, with an Associate of Arts degree in 1965. Before starting her singing career she moved to New York City in the late 1960s and worked as a secretary at BBC Radio's office there for one year. Later, she was a waitress at Max's Kansas City, a go-go dancer in a Union City, New Jersey, discothèque, and a Playboy Bunny.

Two Times Blue

by: Debbie Harry

When you tell me that I'm a double timer
Well to me this doesn't add up
You can call me Miss Calculation
But I can't give up
I love you through and through
Well maybe I could've been better
Yeah, maybe I've been kind of bad
But I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
So can you tell me, how do you measure
How the bittersweet takes over your mouth
And when the taste is too hard to swallow
Well that's what the sugar's all about
So how can we get back to basics
Before I go down for the count
Because I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you keep it
First you try it, then you leave it
You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you need it
First you try it, then you need it
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
