Over deze songtekst:

De makers van dit lied, Bruce Welch en John Rostill, waren toendertijd beiden leden van 'The Shadows', de band van Cliff Richard. Ze hadden het nummer uiteraard voor de band geschreven, maar het werd geen succes.
Olivia zette het lied in 1975 op single en door haar versie werd het wel succesvol. Het bereikte de top-10 in Amerika.
Het lied is in het Frans vertaald en kreeg als titel 'Pourquoi pleurer?' Claude François zong het.

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
