sad songs about you

hey baby

thanks a lot for standin' me up tonight

just when i thought i'd already emptied the tank

you dropped the bomb and then came a song so i guess it's alright

another brick in the wall of this heartbreak and i have you to thank

and i don't know why i write all these sad songs about you

'cause i'll have to sing 'em somehow

for the rest of my life

i don't know why i write all these sad songs about you

well

i guess they just hurt a lot less than another goodbye

hey baby

thanks for pulling the rug out from under me

just when i thought i'd come to the end of my rope

you shot me down

and it all turned around and it came out so easily

another song about you and it too leaves me full of false hope

and i don't know why i write all these sad songs about you

'cause i'll have to sing 'em somehow

for the rest of my life

i don't know why i write all these sad songs about you

well

i guess they just hurt a lot less than another goodbye

just another sad song that i wrote about livin' without you

well i guess it just hurts a lot less than another goodbye

hey baby

thanks a lot for standin' me up tonight
