[Verse 1]
Saw you leave with her with that look in your eyes
And I know that look, seen it once or twice
If they'd have served me more, I would've drunk the bar dry, yeah
Had to down my drink, didn't say no goodbyes
With cheap mascara running down my face
I don't feel nothing from those 808's (08's)
I wanna hear somebody's poor heart break like mine (Whoo, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hoo)
[Chorus]
Sometimes all I want is a sad song
But that ain't what the radio's playing
All I need is for someone to tell me how I'm feeling
All I want is a sad song
Look outside the window it's raining
All I need is for someone to tell me how I feel
[Post-Chorus]
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Can the driver hear me crying? 'Cause I really need this song
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Like, "Whoo, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hoo"
[Verse 2]
Driver things went real bad for me tonight (Tonight)
You ain't the only one taking me for a ride
Oh, oh-oh, woah, oh
So please, don't take me home 'cause I wanna drive
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Sometimes all I want is a sad song
But that ain't what the radio's playing
All I need is for someone to tell me how I'm feeling
All I want is a sad song
Look outside the window it's raining
All I need is for someone to tell me how I feel
[Post-Chorus]
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Can the driver hear me crying? 'Cause I really need this song
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Like, "Whoo, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hoo"
[Bridge]
Right now I need to hear those heartbreak ones
Some Joni Mitchell, not those billboard songs
I wanna hear somebody say that their baby's gone (Whoo, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hoo)
Sometimes all I want is a sad song
But that ain't what the radio's playing, no
Tell me how I feel, yeah
[Chorus]
Sometimes all I want is a sad song
But that ain't what the radio's playing
All I need is for someone to tell me how I'm feeling
All I want is a sad song
Look outside the window it's raining (Oh)
All I need is for someone to tell me how I feel
[Post-Chorus]
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Can the driver hear me crying? 'Cause I really need this song
In a cab for one
Got my heartbreak on
Like, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

It’s about the time I saw my ex getting with a new girl, and got in an Uber home that happened to be blasting “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas, which felt like a cruel, ironic prank. I basically sat in the back feeling like a loser, crying and desperately searching for my headphones in need...
