Mister Record Man, I'm lookin'
For a song I heard today
There was someone blue singin'
About someone who went away
Just like me his heart was broken
For love that used to be
It's a lonely song about a lonely man
Like me
There was something about a love
That didn't treat him right
And he'd wake from troubled sleep
And cry her name at night
And Mister Record Man
Get this record for me, won't you please?
It's a lonely song about a lonely man
Like me
An' I was drivin' down the highway
With the radio turned on
And a man that I heard singin'
Sound so blue and all alone
As I listen to his lonely song
I wonder could it be
Could there somewhere be
Another lonely man like me?
An' there was something about a love
That didn't treat him right
And he'd wake from troubled sleep
And cry her name at night
And Mister Record Man
Get this record for me, won't you please?
It's a lonely song about a lonely man
Like me
