[Verse 1]
I 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

[Chorus]
Turn 'em on, turn 'em 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, oh
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much

[Verse 2]
If someone else is suffering enough, oh, 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
[Chorus]
Turn 'em on, turn 'em 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, oh
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, thay say so much

[Chorus]
Turn 'em on, turn 'em 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, oh
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much

[Outro]
When every bit of hope is gone
Those sad songs say so much
Sad songs, sad songs say so much
Turn 'em on, sad songs say so much
