piano man lyrics

Mr. Piano Man

Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

Do you have a request book handy, I can flip through?
I do, he said my name is Rodney, good to meet you
What do you wanna hear tonight he asked me?
He says that I can feel inside
I've got what you need to know exactly
Why don't we give this a try?

Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play me a song about love lost
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band

We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
(Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

He played a song filled with sadness, I believed him
Even though, we're strippin' with madness, I could see it
We were lost in the music, everyone knew it
Truth was in the air tonight
I could see all the faces, they thought the same
Won't you please?

Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word
Play me a song about love lost
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band

We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
(Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

He was going for hours, people crying showers
No one ever really telled how it is
I sang about hopeless 'cause everyone knows it, knows it
And it was so honest

Finally breathing some clean air
Been through it and seen there
I put my star to fame
Now the spotlight was fading, he just kept on playing

Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play me a song about love lost
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band

We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
(Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us
(Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
