[Verse 1]
Got no place to be, no one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay only yesterday
Today my world is blue, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I might just go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I, I got to have a song now, now
[Verse 2]
Had a happy home, now its turned to stone
Kitchen's cold and bare
She cooks all day for me, I hurry home to see
But I know she's not there, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I got to have a song, baby
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I got to have a song, baby
[Verse 1]
Got no place to be, no one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay, only yesterday
Today my world is blue, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song baby
To keep me going on now, now
Somebody please, help me get a song
[Outro]
Oh, I got to have, I got to have
I got a have, I got to have a song now
Ooh ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, to make me feel so good
Ooh, make me feel right
Got no place to be, no one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay only yesterday
Today my world is blue, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I might just go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I, I got to have a song now, now
[Verse 2]
Had a happy home, now its turned to stone
Kitchen's cold and bare
She cooks all day for me, I hurry home to see
But I know she's not there, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I got to have a song, baby
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song
To keep me going on
I got to have a song, baby
[Verse 1]
Got no place to be, no one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay, only yesterday
Today my world is blue, so
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just might go on
I got to have a song baby
To keep me going on now, now
Somebody please, help me get a song
[Outro]
Oh, I got to have, I got to have
I got a have, I got to have a song now
Ooh ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, to make me feel so good
Ooh, make me feel right
