Lyrics

(Tonight the jukebox plays for me…)

Hello, I'm a jukebox.
No, you're not losing your mind
You see, we just never say anything
Except to a very special time

And I know this is a special time for you, Mister.
But why don’t you sit down and have your drink?
Oh, I know you didn’t come in here for talking
You came here to think

But you picked a bad place, friend,
Because this is a place to forget
Sure it's hard to leave a woman you love
Especially one like you've got

Oh yes, I know her.
She's the girl with a big smile
I see her in here a lot.
She has lunch here, you know

And she wouldn't hurt you for the world
And that girl you're talking to over there, can't replace her
No, not that kind of girl.
So let's face it, Mister, you are wrong

Yeah, I see lots of guys like you
They come here all the time
And it seems like the real quiet ones
Always have something on their mind

Some of them are running away, like you
But running away from what?
I asked a few, but not many know,
For some are lushes and some are sots

But you've have good sense, Mister
Why don’t you go home?
Oh I know, I am just a jukebox,
But and stop and think of all the all the people I've seen

I've seen a million broken hearts
And I've seen a million broken dreams
I've seen the happy people,
But I've also seen the sad

And when all is said and done
I really think you should be glad
So take it from a guy who's seen a lot of slugs in life
You’ve got a real woman at home, mister

So why not go home?
Good Evening
