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
