(Shel Silverstein/D. Loccorriere)

|
Lately, I've been givin' everything I've got to feeling alone
|
Baby you got me livin' one of them hard luck songs on the radio
|
Oh and I know, if I change the station I'll get the same song
|
Hope it ain't on the top too long
|
|
'Cause I really couldn't take it but they kept on playin' it
|
It's too unhappy and too close to home
|
I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song
|
|
I gave you my love, you denied it
|
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
|
And I hope you will return it to me someday
|
I gave you my love, you denied it
|
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
|
And I hope you will return it to me someday
|
|
Some days I just sit around and kind of dream and watch the rain
|
Or I'll pick up some ol' magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away
|
Then I'll sleep a little or walk the floor, I'll smoke a lot more than I did before
|
I'll call somebody I used to know, just to try to stay away from that radio
|
|
'Cause I really can't take it when they keep on playin' it
|
It's so unhappy and so close to home
|
I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song
|
|
I gave you my love, you denied it
|
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
|
And I hope you will return it to me someday
|
I gave you my love, you denied it
|
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
|
And I hope you will return it to me someday
|
|
I gave you my love, you denied it
|
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away.....
