That Old Song

Ray Parker, Jr.

A good song and a love affair

Go hand in hand together

When you think you've gotten over one

The other holds on to your forever



I've tried hard to forget (To forget love)

Ever lovin' you

But just when I've convinced myself

It's over with, then I hear



That old song that they used to play (That old song)

On the radio just about every day

And whenever I hear it all I can do

Is reminisce about lovin' you



That old song that they still play (That old song)

Keeps me longin' for the good old days

The lyric and the melody (Melody)

Remindin' me how in love we used to be



I shouldn't be tellin' you this

I know that I'm out of place (Out of place)

But when I love another woman

I can still see your face, baby



Maybe this is a sign for us (We should get back)

To try and get back together

You can't imagine that those memories (Those memories)

Do to me every time I hear



That old song that they used to play (That old song)

On the radio just about every day

Whenever I hear it all I can do

Is reminisce about lovin' you



That old song that they still play (That old song)

Keeps me longin' for the good old days

The lyric and the melody (Melody)

Remindin' me how in love we used to be



(That old song)

Think of you and me

Every time I hear that song



I recall the good times

When I hear that song, that song, that song

Makin' me realize

That I want you back, girl



Every time I hear that song (Keep on playin' that old song)

Keep on playin' that old song

Ooh, when I hear that song (Keep on playin' that old song)

It reminds me of a love so strong, mmm...



Mr. DJ, would you please play (Keep on playin' that old song)

That old song

Help me bring my baby back home (Keep on playin' that old song)

Keep on playin', playin' that old song
