Lyrics Play Me A Sad Song - 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
