(Intro)
Mr. Piano Man
(Hook:)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man) (Heading inside)
Play a song for love
(Verse 1:)
Do you have a request book handy I can flip through?
"I do," he said, "My name is Sammie, good to meet you."
"What do you wanna hear tonight?", he asked me
I said, "Something I can feel inside.", oh, whoa
"I got what you need, I know exactly..."
Why don't we give this a try?
(Chorus:)
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 (Band)
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
I know we can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)
(Hook:)
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, oh
(Verse 2:)
He played a song filled with sadness, I believed him, oh, whoa
Each note was drippin' 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 started to say it
Won't you please...
(Chorus:)
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word (Every word, yeah) (Mr. Piano Man)
Play me a song about love lost (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
I know we can have the whole world singing tonight
(oh, whoa, whoa, oh)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)
(Hook:)
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
(Bridge:)
He was goin' for hours, people cryin' showers
No one ever really tells how it is
I sang about the hopeless 'cause everyone knows it, knows it
And it was so honest
Finally breathin' some clean air, been through it and seen it
I've witnessed all the pain, oh
And as the spotlight was fading, he just kept on playing, oh whoa
(Chorus:)
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word (I promise)
Mr. Piano Man
Play me a song about love lost (Song)
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
I know we can have the whole world singing tonight (Yeah, yeah)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)
(Oh!)
[Refrain:]
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man) (Oh, ooh)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man) (Ooh)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love
