Nobody Likes Sad Songs (1979)
You've seen the way I entertain a crowd
I used to pack them in from miles around
And I played the happy songs that made them smile
Why'd you want to go and change my style?

Nobody likes sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody likes sad songs, but since you went away
Seems like sad songs are all I can play

The crowd gets restless and they drift away
Lately no one wants to hear me play
I try to do the songs I used to do
Ah but then I think of you


And nobody likes sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody likes sad songs, but since you went away
Seems like sad songs are all I can play

The boss just told me, Ronnie things aren't going well
He's gonna let me go I can tell
He said what happened son you had it made
Why'd you change the way you play?

Cause nobody likes sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody likes sad songs, but since you went away
Seems like sad songs are all I can play
