They say that music calms the savage beast And helps a heartache settle down Thats what I need tonight to sooth me And dull her memory when it comes around Tipjars and teardrops Sad songs for lonely hearts A temporary cure for the blues I got I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all thats left is tipjars and teardrops She used to fill my heart with melody Lovin words Id never heard before Now without her Im in quiet misery And I cant take this silence anymore Chorus
