Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mr. Piano man
[Verse 2]
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano man)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano man)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano man) (Covered in fire)
Play a song for love
[Verse 3]
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
I said, "Something I can feel inside", oh, whoa
"I've got what you need exactly, why don't we give this a try?"
[Verse 4]
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 (Yeah)
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 world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)
[Verse 5]
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 6]
He played a song filled with sadness I believe him ah-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 thought it to say it
Won't you please
[Verse 7]
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word, yeah (Every word) (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
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano man)
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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 see there
I've put my star to fame, oh
Now the spotlight was fading, he just kept on playing
[Verse 10]
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
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Yeah, yeah)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano man)
[Verse 11]
Play a song for us, oh (Mr. Piano man)
Play a song for love, ooh (Mr. Piano man)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano man)
Play a song for love
