Play me a hurtin' tune I wanna an old time hurtin' tune Make me sigh, make me cry Make me wanna lay down an' die! Oh! Play me a hurtin' tune A tear your heart out hurtin' tune Of a true, sweetheart who lost her lover an' feels so blue I love those "How could you be so cruel, treatin' me like a fool?" songs! I love those "Now that I know we're thru, what am I gonna do?" songs! Please! Play me a hurtin' tune I wanna an old time hurtin' tune Make me sad an' I'll be glad 'Cause I feel so good when I feel so bad! < instrumental break > ( We love to feel so sad, we love to feel so bad, go on an' beat me, mistreat me, go ahead an' cheat me, I like it, I like it, we like it! ) < instrumental break > Ah! Make me sigh ( make me cry! ) Make me wanna lay down an' die! < instrumental break > A tear your heart out hurtin' tune Of a true, sweetheart who lost her lover an' feels so blue I love those . . . ( "How could you be so cruel, treat me like a fool?" songs! ) I love those . . . ( "Now that I know we're thru, what am I gonna do?" songs! ) Please! Play me a hurtin' tune I wanna an old time hurtin' tune Make me sad an' I'll be glad 'Cause I feel so good when I feel so bad! < violin solo > Oh look it girls, he's playin' our song! Play us a hurtin' tune We wanna an old time hurtin' tune Make us sad, we'll be glad 'Cause we feel so good when we feel so sad! Music by Sydney Lippman
