Gimme a song I know, something I can relate toPeople never criticise the way I playShow me the way to go, I need to make a breakthroughI don't think that I can wait another dayIt's putting years on me, I'm a young man going greyI don't believe that I can wait another dayThis simple melody is all I haveI make my living that wayI make good friends that wayOoh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I tryIs it something I do wrong please won't you tell me whyPeople all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than II met a man today who walked in my directionStopped took off his hat and lit a cigaretteHe listened carefully to what I had been playingHe threw a coin into my hat and walked awayAlways play just what they want me toEverybody wants the same songIf only I could do it in my own wayI feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, oohSay gimme a song I know, something I can relate toAnd no one wants to criticise the way I playI should just say no and play them what I want toCos I don't think that I can wait another dayIt's putting years on me, I'm a young man going greyI don't believe that I can wait another dayThis simple melody is all I haveI make my living that wayI make good friends that wayThey feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh
