Play Me a Sad Song Songtext
von Paul Simon

Saturday night and I′m all alone
Don't have a date, I′m just sittin' home
The radio's playin′ the tap tunes tonight (oh, yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes), please mister DJ (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight


Don′t you think I wanna go where other kids go
Don't you know I wanna do what other kids do
I′ve got nobody to hold me tight (oh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes), please mister DJ (yes)
Play me a sad song tonight

Don't wanna hear a lullaby
I can′t sleep, I just sit and cry
Play me a sad song, a song of love
'Cause that′s all that I'm thinking of


Sittin' here cryin′ won′t get me the girl
I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world
Oh what′s the use, guess I'll turn off the light (oh yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes), please mister DJ (yes)
Play me a sad song (oh yes), I feel so lonely (yes)
Please mister DJ
