Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

And ironing out the rough spots

Is the hardest part when memories remain

And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio

`Cause from the lips of some old singer

We can share the troubles we already know



Turn them on, turn them on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn them on



They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much



If someone else is suffering enough to write it down

When every single word makes sense

Then it's easier to have those songs around

The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you

and it feels so good to hurt so bad

And suffer just enough to sing the blues



Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say so much
