song-cover

I gotta have a song

Got no place to be

No one¡¯s needing me

My girl just said we¡¯re through

Love was here to stay

Only yesterday

Today my world is blue

So show me to where there¡¯s music

Show me to where there¡¯s music

With music I just might go on¡­¡­.

I gotta have a song¡­¡­

To go it alone¡­¡­.

A happy happy song¡­

Had a happy home

Now it¡¯s turned to stone

Kitchen¡¯s cold and bare

She¡¯d cook all day for me

I still hurry home to see

But I know that she¡¯s not thereSo show me to where there¡¯s music

Show me to where there¡¯s music

With music I just might go on¡­¡­.

I gotta have a song¡­¡­

To go it alone¡­¡­.

A happy happy song¡­

Show me to where there¡¯s music

Show me to where there¡¯s music

With music, I just can¡¯t go wrong¡­..

I gotta have a song¡­.

To go it alone¡­¡­

A happy happy song¡­¡­..

(Repeat)
