Marty Robbins Please Don't Play A Love Song lyrics

Same old stool, same old crowd
I sit down, the music's loud
It's time for me to sing your favorite song

So tonight I'll stand in front of you
And though they make the spotlight blue
While the mike is in my hand
My one request is to the band

Please don't play a love song
'Cause I can't take the pain
Oh, just play me some old crying song
And I'll do my best to sing, just for you

'Cause she's gone and I'm alone
And the words would all be wrong

And though the show must go on
Please don't play a love song

Please don't play a love song
My heart can't stand the pain
'Cause it just might be our song
The one song I can't sing, no, not tonight

'Cause she's gone and I'm alone
And the words would all be wrong
And though the show must go on
Please don't play a love song
