Gimme a song I know, something I can relate to People never criticise the way I play Show me the way to go, I need to make a breakthrough I don't think that I can wait another day
It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way Ooh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I try Is it something I do wrong please won't you tell me why People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than I
I met a man today who walked in my direction Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette He listened carefully to what I had been playing He threw a coin into my hat and walked away
Always play just what they want me to Everybody wants the same song If only I could do it in my own way I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh
Say gimme a song I know, something I can relate to And no one wants to criticise the way I play I should just say no and play them what I want to Cos I don't think that I can wait another day
It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh Emotion, emotion, ooh
