How Sad

(album: Sound Of Music - 1982)

A boy loved a girl but the girl said no
She ran away with a handsome Gigolo
He loved her but they were through
So he fed himself to the lions at the zoo

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad

Romeo and Juliet, a weirdo couple that I met
They had a little drink with a strange effect
Some mistakes you can't correct

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad

Ain't it sad about the boys and the girls
Oh sha la la
Oh sha la la
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Oh sha la la
Oh sha la la
Ain't it sad about the boys and the girls
Oh sha la la
Oh sha la la
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Oh sha la la hey hey

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad

Love is a thing you can't control
When you're young or when you're old
And I don't play sympathetic parts
So you can keep your broken heart

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, how sad
