I'm writing a song all about you
  A true song as real as my tears
  But you've no need to fear it
  Cause no one will hear it
  Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

  I'll tell all about how you cheated
  I'd like for the whole world to hear
  I'd like to get even
  With you cause you're leavin'
  But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

  It's a good thing that I'm not a star
  You don't know how lucky you are
  Though my record may say it
  No one will play it
  Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.
