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 You touched my soul with your beautiful song You even had me singin' along Right with you You said I need you Then you changed the words and added harmony Then you sang a song you had written for me to someone new 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 That things are right when I know they're wrong Nobody sings a love song quite like you Sing your song sweet music man You travel the world with a six - piece band That does for you what you tell 'em to You try to stay young but the songs are sung To so many people they've all begun to come back on you Sing your song sad music man Makin' your livin' doin' one night stands They're through with you they don't need you You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man But you'll keep on lookin' for one last fan to sing to 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 That things are right when I know they're wrong Nobody sings a love song quite like you Sing your song sweet music man I believe in you
