No Chick no, don’t play that chord again

She’s no longer here and I don’t feel so well

Your Spanish soul takes me back a ways

Times I could laugh at the drop of a hat

Or at the morning rise of the sun

Beauty in music can hurt sometimes

When tears are on the verge

 Melody can make it come crashing down

No Chick no don’t play that song again

It’s the one she loved when I was her man

Your Bossa-Nova is bound to kill

It once moved our entangled bodies

And now cuts and bruises my soul

No Chick no, don’t do that trick again

Save that for happier days ahead

I may live to tell another girl some day

This song is hers every time it plays

That’s when I learn to smile again.
