| Lyrics: | Play me a hurtin' tune
I wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make me sigh, make me cry
Make me wanna lay down an' die!
Oh! Play me a hurtin' tune
A tear your heart out
hurtin' tune
Of a true, sweetheart who
lost her lover an' feels so blue
I love
those "How could you be so cruel,
treatin' me like a fool?" songs!
I love those "Now that
I know we're thru,
what am I gonna do?" songs!
Please! Play me a hurtin' tune
I
wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make me sad an' I'll be glad
'Cause I feel so good when I
feel so bad!
< instrumental break >
( We love to feel so sad, we love to feel so
bad,
go on an' beat me, mistreat me, go ahead an' cheat me,
I like it, I like it, we like
it! )
< instrumental break >
Ah! Make me sigh ( make me cry! )
Make me
wanna lay down an' die!
< instrumental break >
A tear your heart out hurtin'
tune
Of a true, sweetheart who
lost her lover an' feels so blue
I love those . .
. ( "How could you be so cruel,
treat me like a fool?" songs! )
I love those . . . ( "Now
that I know we're thru,
what am I gonna do?" songs! )
Please! Play me a hurtin' tune
I wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make me sad an' I'll be glad
'Cause I feel so good
when I feel so bad!
< violin solo >
Oh look it girls, he's playin' our song!
Play us a hurtin' tune
We wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make us sad, we'll be glad
'Cause we feel so good when we feel so sad!
