Not Important Anymore

Lyrics

How you doing tonight, folks? Are you enjoying the show? Soon as I'm done, folks You'll be free to go And when you're gone, I'll still be here With no solutions gained My problems will still be with me And you'll be entertained How you like my songs, folks? Every word is true To tell you the truth, folks The songs aren't for you I used to need an audience To keep from feeling worse Tonight I need this audience For me to rehearse, 'cause It's not important anymore I don't care about what you think You're not who I'm doing this for Opinions are therе for me to ignore And when this show is through Thеre's only one thing left to do I'm gonna play these songs to my wife 'Cause they're meant for her, not you How do I sound, folks? Who do I remind you of? You like Billy Joel, folks? What's not to love? He writes songs about his life Otherwise we're not the same Billy Joel is famous And you'll forget my name, but It's not important anymore I don't care about what you think You're not who I'm doing this for Opinions are there for me to ignore And when this show is through There's only one thing left to do I'm gonna play these songs to my wife 'Cause they're meant for her not you Maybe nobody's who I'm supposed to be Go ahead, New York, do whatever you want with me Show's almost done, folks Was it good for you? Did you hate it all, folks? Not much I can do I'm gonna keep on writing songs This is who I am And long as she believes in me I really don't give a damn, 'cause It's not important anymore Can't wait to get off this stage And walk through my front door And play my wife songs she hasn't heard before So as soon as this show is through There's only one thing left to do I finally know what's important now That's her, not you
