(Berry Gordy, Jr.) Play a sad song

For a girl with a broken heart

With a broken heart Play a sad song

Let him know that I'm still crying

Let him know I'm slowly dieing, slowly dieing, slowly dieing

So play a sad, sad song

For a girl with a broken heart

With a broken heart I don't know why he left

We were doing so fine

He was mine, all mine

He must have found another love

He must have found another love

And put me down

So play a sad, sad, sad, sad song

For a girl with a broken heart I gave him all the love

All the loving I had

Now he's driving me mad

He knows I've never been a cheat

I tried to make my kisses sweet

He said I made his life complete

Now he's gone

So play a sad, sad, sad song

For a girl with a broken heart

So play a sad, sad song

For a girl with a broken heart
