Newton-John, Olivia - Please Mr. Please Lyrics






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

Newton-John, Olivia Please Mr. Please Comments
  1. S.... K....

    She left a picture of her and our two daughters..seven years .its like yesterday.

  2. S.... K....

    Gotta go.that song destroys me

  3. G.... S....

    She doesn't need earrings or a necklace She looks good in a dress

  4. s.... l....

    I'm hopelessly devoted to you Olivia. Now and always.

  5. d.... r....

    REMEMBERING THE EARLIEST MEMORIES OF MY LIFE: THERE WAS USUALLY A JUKEBOX MOST EVERYPLACE YOU WOULD GO, AND SOME PLACES HAD A MINI-BOX AT EACH TABLE. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHICH OF HER HITS WAS ON THE BOX, AS SHE WAS A PERMANENT FIXTURE ON THESE DEVICES. SHE WAS A PART OF GROWING UP. I SAW ' GREASE ' THE WEEKEND IT OPENED UP; HER SINCERE, SWEET CHARM IS SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. AFTER WATCHING THE RECENT INTERVIEW. Or rather ' expose ' I HAVE DISCOVERRD ALL OF THESE VIDEOS THAT WEREN'T ACCESSIBLE IN THE OLD DAYS. I'M SURE HER RECENT EXPOSURE HAS LED LEGIONS TO THIS TREASURE TROVE OF DELIGHT, AS SHE HAS BEEN and is UNTAINTED BY THE FAME, MONEY, STATURE, AND AGAIN, ITS NOT JUST HER TALENT ( ever notice how in her concerts she hits every note just perfect?! ); IT'S HER HEART AND SOUL THAT REALLY ' CONNECTS ' WITH PEOPLE, AND I AM GLAD SHE IS IN GOOD CHEER. IF SHE IS SOMEHOW READING THIS, MY HEART GOES WITH HER

  6. L.... T....

    She is the most beautiful Lady in the history.

  7. I.... ....

    Wonder how many would understand the reference to B-17 today...Jukeboxes don't have buttons anymore

  8. �.... ....

    오늘따라 이슬이... , 추억일까?

  9. �.... ....

    나의 아이돌이래요!

  10. D.... B....

    I thought I was so in love with her in my younger days.

  11. K.... !....

    God, she sang so perfectly while performing live

  12. H.... C....

    Didn't ANYONE at Magic 98.3 get sick and tired of this incredibly dull thing?!

  13. C.... K....

    Still love this song

  14. J.... L....

    Hermosa mujer y hermosa cancion, lo demas sale sobrando

  15. 9.... ....

    Ironically, B-17 was actually "Please Mr. Please."

  16. H.... L....

    OLIVIA LUCE VERY SEXI

  17. U.... M....

    I was born in 60's and I remember and cherish the music of the 60s, 70s, 80s. The best music ever. No computers, no mobiles, no social media, none of the stuff people have now, but boy oh boy, we were so happy.
    So privileged to have witnessed all this and it will always be with me.There's nothing more sensual, more sexy than this lady singing.

  18. J.... R....

    "And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind...". Well, they're three nights that I get to sleep singing "Please Mr., please, don't play B-17..." in my mind....

  19. J.... R....

    I'm sixty. And I cannot describe how my eyes are wet while hearing Olivia,, especially when she sings "And here I am just missing you again". I did it a lot of years ago, and the girl was crying, we were in a dancing. And that song, our song, also today as like a nail in my heart, in my memory. But between us...it could not be kept along. Thanks Olivia, I am listening to a photo...of the times I was a teen ager. It's right to give 1 millon likes....

  20. p.... p....

    And my friends around to help me ease the pain
    'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song

  21. J.... R....

    It's the first time I hear this song. Curiosity about Bruece Welch, of The Shadows, that was the first to sing it. Wonderful. Y kept my mouth opened all the time. She's not singing, she's crying wtih her heart. Olivia is a true artist.

  22. R.... I....

    Don't play B-17? Why? What's the B stand for? Hey hey hey hey! It was the D.N.A...Do ya know, do ya know, do ya know just what they mean?

    Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean.
    Well, she was just 17...if ya know what I mean.
    Well your just 17 all ya wanna do is disappear...You know what I mean, there's a lot of space between your ears.
    17 and natures Queen ya...know what I mean?
    Remember when you was 17? You's goin' crazy...you know what I mean.
    When I was 17 it was a very good year. It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.
    In 65 I was 17 and running up 101. I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on.
    I was 37, you were 17. You were half my age, the youth I'd never seen. Unlikely people meeting in a dream. Heaven only knows the way it should have been.
    You've been gone 17 days. 17 long nights. The main drag is knowing that you're holding someone else tight.
    Feels like 17 years. It's only 17 days since I saw the real you and I let you walk way. 17. You're just 17.
    15,16,17. Sweeeeeet 17.
    She's only 17 (17!) Daddy says she's too young but she's old enough for me!
    She's too cute to be a minute over 17. I said, go, go, go little Queenie.
    I learned the truth at 17 that love was mean't for beauty queens and high school girls with clear skinned smiles who married young and then retired.
    Now that you're 17 you are quite a beauty queen. Can you still remember when you were on your daddy's knee?
    You are the dancing queen. Young and sweet, only 17. Dancing queen feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah!

    What do all these songs babble on about 17?...Is it a mystery? Baum Baum Bomb.

  23. D.... Q....

    Good song, a classic. But, Sorry Olivia, you don't have the range, the octives, the charisma, Ms. Karen Anne Carpenter had. Oh, she may have wanted to divorce the brother-sister image producers gave her, to a more "modern/sexy" style, true. But, NO ONE CAN HOLD A CANDAL to Karen's style, charm and "knock the socks off" sound. You still sound good, Olivia it is just that, she left us, so early in her life, yet still has countless fan sites on FB and thousands of devoted fans. She..her voice, her charm, her beauty, her endless emotions, expressed in her songs is Unique, that only she, and no one before or after will hold a candle to Karen. I am glad you were her friend. I believe she despartily needed, good friends. God bless, Karen C.

    D.... Q....

    Yeah...... Yeah....... Now go have cold shower and calm down.

  24. I.... D....

  55. I.... 7....

    :-) I have this concert on video tape, I love it, but haven't been able to find it on Dvd. Does anyone know of I can get it transferred to Dvd?

    I.... 7....

    +Bainzee there are some places where you can do that. music shops where there are equipment specializing in doing that.

  56. b.... b....

    kept my attention, and kept her clothes on.

  57. R.... S....

    Five selections for a quarter! Yup....I remember those days. And pinball machines were five games for a quarter. Pull tab beer cans. Ten cents to make a phone call.
    The pop machine had a bottle opener on the right hand side. The local watering hole had saw dust on the floor. Amazing how much the world has changed.

    R.... S....

    +Ray Simmons doesn't she look like Linda Evans(Dynasty) in this video?

    R.... S....

    Knock it off with the hair comments ! ... I Love Her .

    R.... S....

    When that song came you could only get two songs for a quarter. It was still a great song.

  58. B.... C....

    I love this song.

  64. g.... ....

    The bass player is a cool guy...

  65. G.... G....

    ¡Hermosa por siempre!!! Grandes recuerdos......

  66. R.... M....

    And she did not need to stick her tongue out and twerk like some do today!

    R.... M....

    It's because they had real talent back then. And people in general were way more decent back then.

    R.... M....

    I know. Miley Cyrus should French KISS Gene $immons on the Grammy's and sing Christine 16!

    R.... M....

    Robert Maldonado no, because she actually has talent.

  67. A.... ....

    Look at the bass player - more than the bass line!

  68. R.... T....

    That bass player is having a good time!

    R.... T....

    He looks like sounding in carnival time...

  69. N.... D....

    Outstanding!  Olivia has never looked better! I LOVE her hair here.

    And, her voice, it is beautifully haunting!  Too bad they had too much musical accompaniment.  Would have been even better with less background music.

  70. c.... k....

    love livvy extremely inspirational and has a heart of gold

  71. R.... ....

    I love Olivia Newton John, she has a beautiful heart and soul... I heard this song in the grocery store today and it nearly brought me to tears.. I wish they made music like this still.. I miss that.

  72. H.... R....
