Lyrics
1st Vers:
I'm listening to that song that you wrote me
I'm listening to that song you wrote about our love
Suc a beautiful, sweet melody
The lyric spoke about a love to have and to trust
Change:
So I never thought I'd hear that melody
Without the harmony, without the you&me
You're on every billboard chart
I'm all alone in the dark
With my radio & a broken heart
Chorus:
So when that song goes off this time
Quick! Somebody press rewind
Press erase so I won't hear that song again
Then I'm going to erase
Our very 1st date, time & place
I don't ever want to hear that song again.
2nd Verse:
I'm walking in the park, clearing my mind
I sit and listen to a man playing saxophone
He played so brilliantly
I was feelin' fine but it was gettin' late
So I started back for home
Change:
But before I could go
That sax man wanted to know
Could he play one last tune
I thought what harm could it do
He started playin' that song
That song you wrote for me
He asked why I looked so sad
I couldn't even speak
Choruse:
So when that song plays the next time
I'll block out every note and line
I don't ever want to hear that song again
Then I'm going to erase
Our very 1st date, time & place
I don't ever want to hear that song again
Bridge:
Tell me did you write another love song
'bout everlasting love? Oooh baby ur wrong
'cause everlasting love doesn't mean
a lyric and some chords for make believe
Superstar! I never dreamed,
I would dare regret such a beautiful thing
But soon one day I'll be strong
Then I'll move on
But not again do I want to hear that lovely song
Repeat Chorus & Fade
