Do you know why it’s the sad songs
That get sung the loudest
It’s the heartache and fever-pitch
That amuse and delight us
Yeah the sadder the better
Oh it’s just Human nature
Yeah it’s the sad songs that get sung the loudest

Oh pity me, oh pretty please
I’ve a heart that needs mending
And you look like you need this as well
I’ll sing til my throat’s raw
If you think it will help you
But if I falter won’t you please help me out
Yeah it’s a sad song so it’s gotta be loud

Show me the bad times
Along with the good
Yeah I’ll take em and never let go
Just one more tear
Won’t matter at all
So when you feel like crying remember my dear
It’s the sad songs that get sung the loudest

Don’t wanna hear that you’re alright
No one cares if you’re just fine
But if you’ve a sad tale to tell us
We’ll buy the beer
And lend you an ear
Because after all that’s what we’ve come to hear
Yes a sad song
A sad sad sad song
The sort that you have to sing loud
