Same old stool, same old crowd I sit down, the music's loud It's time for me to sing you're favourite sing So tonight I'll stand in front of you And though they make the spotlight blue While the mike is in my hand My one request is to the band Please don't play a love song 'Cause I can't take the pain Oh, just play me some old cryin' song And I'll do my best to sing, just for you 'Cause she's gone and I'm alone And the words would all be wrong And though the show must go on Please don't play a love song Please don't play a love song My heart can't stand the pain 'Cause it just might be our song The one song I can't sing, no not tonight 'Cause she's gone and I'm alone And the words would all be wrong And though the show must go on Please don't play a love song
