Lyrics

[Verse 1] Give me a song I know, something I can relate to The people never criticize 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 Da, da, da, da-da-da, da, da, da, da-da, da Da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day [Chorus] This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way, oh [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Always play just what they want me to Everybody wants the same song If only I could do it in my own way [Post-Chorus] I feel such emotion, emotion, oh Emotion, emotion, oh [Verse 3] Say give me a song I know, something I can relate to And no one wants to criticize the way I play it I should just say no and play them what I want to 'Cause I don't think that I can wait another day Da, da, da, da-da-la, da-da, da, da-da, da, da Da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day [Chorus] This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way [Post-Chorus] They feel my emotion, emotion, oh, oh Emotion, emotion, oh [Outro] Da, da, da, da-da-da, da, da, da, da-da, da Da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da Da, da-da-na, da-da, da, da-na, na, na Da-da, da, da, da-da-na, na-na, da, da, da Da-da, ba, ba, da, da-da-da, da-da, da, da, da Da-da-na-da, da, da, da, da-da-da, da-da, ba-ba-da Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba-da-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba
