"Don't Sing No More Sad Songs"

Don't sing no more sad songs
I want to hear some glad songs
I feel the loneliness of a million souls

Don't play me those blue tunes
I want to hear some new tunes
I feel the emptiness you left behind

I wasn't very smart
Because I let you take my heart
Now, I just have to start again - once again !

Don't bring no more bad news
Get yourself a new muse
I wish you happiness
In the years to come

I know I wasn't very smart
Because I let you take my heart
Now, I just have to start again - once again !

— instrumental (guitar) —

I say, stop singing those sad songs
I want to hear some glad songs
I feel the loneliness of a million souls

Don't play those old blue tunes
I want to hear some new tunes
I feel the emptiness you left behind

You know, I wasn't very smart
Because I let you take my heart
And now, I just have to start once again – yes indeed !
- once again !

All these bad news has gone to cease
And the glad news must increase
And I wish you happiness
In all the years to come
