"Mr. Record Man" lyrics

Mr. Record Man

Mister Record Man
I'm looking
For a song I heard today
There was someone blue
Singing
About someone who went away

Just like me
His heart was yearning
For a 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

Mister Record Man
Oh, get this record for me
Won't you please?
It's a lonely song
About a lonely man
Like me

I was driving down the highway
With the radio turned on
And the man that I heard singing
Sounded so blue
And all alone

As I listened to his lonely song
I wondered
Could it be?
Could there somewhere be
Another 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

Mister Record Man
Oh, get this record for me
Won't you please?
It's a lonely song
About a lonely man
Like me
