John Richard Paul

Lyrics

She don’t like the sad songs I play
Though she’ll listen to them day after day
She recommends that I write a happier song or two
Coz all of them sad songs they just make her feel blue

She says it’s time to look on the sunnier side of life
Put away all that toil and strife
Sing a song that’s pleasing to the ear
With words and a melody full of cheer

Coz she don’t like the sad songs I play
Says they have a way of ruining her day
So why not write about something kinda nice for a change
With a little more sugar and a whole lot less spice

I said, “Maybe you didn’t hear;
They say sad songs and waltzes are really selling this year.
Ain’t no room for that old sunnier side of things
Just doom and gloom and that old existentialist blues.”

So I’m gonna keep on playing my sad old songs
Until the day something better comes along
Use the same few chords and borrowed licks
Til this sad old dog learns a few happier tricks

But she don’t like the sad songs I play
Though she’ll listen to them day after day
She recommends that I write a happier song or two
Coz all of them sad songs they just make her feel blue
Yes all of them sad songs just make her feel blue
All of them sad songs, they just make her feel blue
