Mr. Record Man

[Verse 1]

Mr. Record Man, I'm lookin' for a song I heard today

There was someone blue singing 'bout someone who went away

Just like me, his heart was yearnin' for a love that used to be

It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me

[Chorus]

There was something' 'bout a love that didn't treat him right

And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night

Mr. Record Man, get this record for me, won't you please?

It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me

[Verse 2]

I was driving down the highway with the radio turned on

And the man that I heard singin' sounded so blue and all alone

As I listened to his lonely song, I wondered, "Could it be?

Could there somewhere be another lonely man like me?"

[Chorus]

There was somethin' about a love that didn't treat him right

And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night

Mr. Record Man, oh get this record for me, won't you please?

It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me
