Please Mr. Please

Olivia Newton John, Pacific Soul | 6 comments

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else’s songs when yours are through

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
‘Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again

Please, Mr., please, don’t play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it’s over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don’t ever wanna hear that song again

If I had a dime for every time I held you
Though you’re far away, you’ve been so close to me
I could swear I’d be the richest girl in Nashville
Maybe even in the state of Tennessee

But I guess I’d better get myself together
‘Cause when you left, you didn’t leave too much behind
Just a note that said “I’m sorry” by your picture
And a song that’s weighing heavy on my mind

Please, Mr., please, don’t play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it’s over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don’t ever wanna hear that song again

Here’s the Samoan written out for convenience.

Ana ou u’uina ni tupe I taimi uma
Pe va I maila e afe te saili I mauga
Oute tauto atu la’u pele o lo’u ola
O lo’u fatu, ma lo’u tino ma o’u lagona
Ae ui I lea o manatu uma ia
Ua nao se miti
Manaoga o le agaga moo e
I so’o se taimi
Na o se ata na e tuua ina ua e alu
Ma se pese malie e fa’amalu
I lo’u nei fatu

Fa’amolemole (fa’amolemole)
La’u pele ea ua ou lagonaina
Uiga o le pese sa e usuina ae ua uma
Fa’amolemole (Fa’amolemole)
Ana e tofo I le oona
Ma manatu ifo I ou lagona
Ua ta le lava pologa
