Lyrics
Lately I’ve been giving ev’rything I’ve got to feeling low,
Baby got me living one of them hard luck songs on the radio.
All night long if I change the station, I’ll get the same song,
Hoping it ain’t on the charts too long
‘Cause I really couldn’t take it if they kept on playing it,
It’s too unhappy and too close to home.
I don’t want to hear it but the singer keeps singing that song.

I gave you my love, you deserted,
Then I gave you my life but you wouldn’t stay.
And I hope you will return it to me some day.
I gave you my love, you didn’t earn it,
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away,
And I hope you will return it to me some day.

Some days I just sit around with time to dream and watch the rain.
Or I’ll pick up some old magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away.
Then I’ll sleep a little or walk the floor, I’ll smoke a lot more than I did before,
I’ll call somebody I used to know just to try to stay away from that radio.
‘Cause I really can’t take it when they keep on playing it,
It’s so unhappy and so close to home.
I don’t want to hear it but the singer keeps singing that song.

I gave you my love, you didn’t earn it,
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn’t stay.
And I hope you will return it to me some day.
I gave you my love, you didn’t earn it,
Then I gave you my life, you threw it away,
And I hope you will return it to me some day.
