Words and music by Hank Cochran

I don't know you from Adam

But if you're gonna play the jukebox

Please don't play A - Eleven.

I just came in here from force of habit

I don't intend to spend too much time in here

But I heard you *matchin' for the music

And if you play A- Eleven - there'll be tears.

I don't know you from Adam

But if you're gonna play the jukebox

Please don't play A - Eleven.

This used to be our favorite spot

And when she was here it was heaven

It was here she told me that she loved me

And she always played A - Eleven.

I don't know you from Adam

But if you're gonna play the jukebox

Please don't play A - Eleven...
