Lyrics for Mr. Record Man

Mr. Record Man I'm looking for a song I heard today There was someone blue singing not someone who went away Just like me his heart was yearning for a love that used to be It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me There was something bout a love that didn't treat him right And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night Mr Record Man get this record for me won't you please It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me I was driving down the highway with the radio turned on And a man that I heard singing sound so blue and all alone As I listen to his lonely song I wonder could it be Could there somewhere be another lonely man like me There was something about a love that didn't treat him right And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night Mr. Record Man, get this record for me, won't you please? It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me
