Sad Song
Brenda Holloway Lyrics
Let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that would help me find
The reason why I'm left behind
With no one to care, no one to share
The misery that I've brought upon myself
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
So let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that could ease my mind
I know I was wrong, but I wish he would come back home
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you
Let that sad song play just one more time
There's nothing I could say that would ease my mind
I know I was wrong, but I wish he would come back home
I could still feel his touch, I need it so much
I'm so lonely & I'm so blue, yeah
Oh why don't you, why don't you, why don't you play that
Sad song one more time
& fade

Her best known hits from her Motown days were the soul ballad Every Little Bit Hurts (which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964.

Her best known hits from her Motown days were the soul ballad Every Little Bit Hurts (which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. The title of the song was similar to the 60's television public service announcement about highway littering--Every Litter Bit Hurts. After her '64 hit, she recorded, When I'm Gone,which had been recorded by Mary Wells and was intended to be Mary's followup to her '64 mega-hit , My Guy. However, after a contract dispute, Mary Wells left Motown for 20th Century Fox Records. Brenda's version of "When I'm Gone" was a R&B hit, but never crossed over in the days of segragated R&B/Rock & Roll radio.
Holloway did not fit the Motown mold well. She lived in Los Angeles, not Detroit. She also had a grittier edge than the typical polished Motown performer, and wrote songs as well as sang them, which was unprecedented for a female Motown artist. Brenda Hollowy inspired many pop artists, including The Beatles who asked her to perform as the opening act on their 1965 tour of the U.S. She was the only female to open for them.
