Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain 
And ironing out the rough spots 
Is the hardest part when memories remain 
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio 
`Cause from the lips of some old singer 
We can share the troubles we already know 
 
Turn them on, turn them on 
Turn on those sad songs 
When all hope is gone 
Why don't you tune in and turn them on 
 
They reach into your room 
Just feel their gentle touch 
When all hope is gone 
Sad songs say so much 
 
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down 
When every single word makes sense 
Then it's easier to have those songs around 
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you 
and it feels so good to hurt so bad 
And suffer just enough to sing the blues 
 
Sad songs, they say 
Sad songs, they say 
Sad songs, they say 
Sad songs, they say so much
