Lyrics


Why has love got to be so sad (c) Dennis Makepeace
Day after day you told me lie after lie,
I just listened to you, time after time,
Night after night, you were seeing that guy, i stayed home, i thought that things were just fine
You've gone and left me feeling free,
but my heart is empty all the same, i keep on asking the same old question over again; chorus Why has love got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad?
Why has love got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad?

You drove me crazy but i always thought maybe,
we might get back together again ,
You never talked about leaving ,no time for grieving,
I suppose you thought it would be a sin to remain,
Now you're gone and I'm holding on,
to memories that only cause me pain, I keep on asking the same old question over again, chorus,
Why has love got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad? Why has love got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad?

Are you happy with him? is he crazy for you? Do you do all the things that we used to do?
When you're lying beside him do you still think of me? Just like a butterfly you live to be free,
Now you're gone and i'm moving on,
I'll just do my best to keep me sane,
I keep on asking the same old question over again, chorus Why has love got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad? Why has loove got to be so sad?why has love got to be so sad?

I like the voice in this song.

Nice song good vibe - good instrumental playing and nice production good work!

Great melody,

-I liked this song from the start. Thanks for sharing it!
-Solid arrangement and players. Pro studio? Sounds it.
-I listened 3X to catch as much as possible as I wanted to be clear with any thoughts I have. 3Xs, my friend. That's a rave right there!
-Nice vocal quality and delivery. Yours or a studio?

What a great hook! It's totally original...I've never heard anything like it, and I can totally relate to it. Great job! :)

nice story nice arrangement

Good structure and phrasing. The title is clear and repeats. It's amazing how many songs I listen to where you can't tell what the title is and it's very important for the listener to be able to identify it.

The song has a good too feel it. It tells a story, which Country music is all about. The instrumentation and vocals worked well for this song. It has a nice "Old style" Country feel. I enjoyed listening to this.

Nice melody and a strong hook. The rhyming is good but seems a bit forced at times. Good harmonies in the right places. Good luck with this song!

I liked the song, it was tender and emotional. It had a nice easy listening feel to it.

Pretty tune. Nice song.

nice song, good mix

Excellent job on this one buddy! Very pleasant and well structured. Nice work! Great guitar piece as well! Good luck!

Great singer with a catchy melody and crisp arrangement. Nice hooks and lead guitar.

I loved this song. Vocals and instrumentation were spot on. Very nice guitar work with a great sound. This song is destined for main stream air play. Just an amazing song with HIT written all over it...standing ovation from here!!!!

NICE SONG WELL SUNG

Good song, people could easily relate to the story behind it!

I like the hook...the lyrics are good and the melody is nice to listen to. Good job.
