Dolly Parton
Sweet Music Man
[Verse 1]
Sing a song, sweet music man
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a heck of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you
[Verse 2]
You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said, "I need you"
Then you changed the words and added harmony
Then you sang the song you had written for me
To someone new
[Chorus]
Oh, but nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you
[Verse 3]
Sing your song, sweet music man
Travel the world with a six-piece band
That does for you what you tell 'em to
And you try to stay young, but the songs are sung
To so many people who've all begun
To come back on you
[Verse 4]
Sing your song, sad music man
Making your living doing one-night stands
They're through with you
They don't need you
You're still a heck of a singer, but a broken man
But you'll keep on looking for one last fan to sing to
[Chorus]
Oh, and nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along
And nobody else can make me feel things are right when they're wrong with a song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you
[Outro]
Sing your song, sweet music man
I believe in you
