Please Don't Play a Love Song lyrics

Same old stage, same old crowd

I sit down, the music's loud

It's time for me to sing your favorite song

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
