Lyrics
Verse 1
It's a cold night outside,
I'm here alone at the bar (sipping on a drink),
Heart shattered into pieces,
No mood to dance or go far (looking at the jukebox).
Pre-Chorus
Before you play the next one (yeah),
I've got a request to make (listen up),
I need something slow,
To help this heartache break (oh eh oh).
Chorus
Don't play that upbeat tune (no),
I wanna hear a love song (something sweet),
My heart's not ready,
For that rock and roll throng (oh no).
I'm not feeling lively,
Since she's been gone (since she's gone),
So play me something slow,
Give me a love song (a love song).
Verse 2
Before you drop that quarter,
Keep my plea in mind (yeah),
A heartbroke cowboy here,
Waiting in the line (waiting in the line).
Pre-Chorus
My soul's been hurting (hurting),
Since she walked away (she walked away),
So please play something,
To ease the pain today (ease the pain, oh eh oh).
Chorus
Don't play that upbeat tune (no),
I wanna hear a love song (something sweet),
My heart's not ready,
For that rock and roll throng (oh no).
I'm not feeling lively,
Since she's been gone (since she's gone),
So play me something slow,
Give me a love song (a love song).
Bridge
I got nothing against the rhythm (nothing),
But when your heart's been torn (oh no),
You need something gentle,
To heal what's been worn (heal it up).
Nothing like a soft guitar,
To drown out the pain (drown it out),
Before you spend your money,
Play a song for me again (play it again, oh eh oh).
Chorus
Don't play that upbeat tune (no),
I wanna hear a love song (something sweet),
My heart's not ready,
For that rock and roll throng (oh no).
I'm not feeling lively,
Since she's been gone (since she's gone),
So play me something slow,
Give me a love song (a love song).
Outro
Yeah, play me something slow,
Give me a love song (a love song, oh eh oh).
