A Hard Day's Night lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by The Beatles)

It's been a hard day's night

And I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night

I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you

I find the things that you do

Will make me feel all right

You know I work all day

To get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say

You're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan

'Cause when I get you alone

You know I feel okay

When I'm home, everything seems to be right

When I'm home, feeling you holding me tight

Tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night

And I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night

I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you

I find the things that you do

Will make me feel all right, oh

So why on earth should I moan

'Cause when I get you alone

You know I feel okay

When I'm home, everything seems to be right

When I'm home, feeling you holding me tight

Tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night

And I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night

I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you

I find the things that you do

Will make me feel all right

You know I feel all right

You know I feel all right

All Shook Up lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Elvis Presley)

(from "Honeymoon In Vegas" soundtrack)

Well I bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree

My friends say I'm actin' queer as a bug

I'm in love, I'm all shook up

Mm, mm, mm, mm, yay, yay, yeah!

Well my hands are shaky and my knees are weak

I can't seem to stand on my own two feet

Now, who do you thank when you have such luck?

I'm in love, I'm all shook up

Mm, mm, mm, mm, yay, yay, yeah!

Well please don't ask me what's on my mind

I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine

When I'm near that girl that I love best

My heart beats so that it scares me to death

She touched my hand what a chill I got

Her kisses are like a volcano that's hot

I'm proud to say she's my buttercup

I'm in love, I'm all shook up

Uh-huh, uh, yay, yay, yeah!

Well my tongue gets tied when I try to speak

My insides shaken like a leaf on a tree

There's only one cure for this soul of mine

That's to have the girl that I love so fine

She touched my hand what a chill I got

Her kisses are like a volcano that's hot

I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup

I'm in love, I'm all shook up

Uh-huh, uh, hey, yeah

Uh-huh, uh, hey

Uh-huh, oh, hey

I'm all shook up

Cross To Bear lyrics - Billy Joel

Well, I know you got your troubles

But I've got problems of my own

It's all relative you see, what happiness should be

And we got to work it out alone

I know about your situation

And I know all about your pain

But you know it's true though it's no comfort to you

Into each life must fall some rain

We all have our cross to bear

We all walk in darkness sometimes

Though I know it don't seem fair

We all have our cross to bear

You know I hate to see you cry

I hate to see you cry now

Because I had my share of tears

And though it may sound cool, you know I'd be a fool

To let it slide a few more years

Listen, I just got to have my freedom

And if that's giving you the blues

That's the price you pay, Lord, there ain't no other way

But to get down on your knees and pay your dues

'Cause don't you know

We all have our cross to bear

We all knuckle under sometimes

Oh, everybody gets his share

We all have our cross to bear

Oh, I just got to have my freedom

And if that's giving you the blues

Well, that's the price you pay, Lord, there ain't no other way

But to get down on your knees and pay your dues

'Cause don't you know

We all have our cross to bear

Oh, we all walk in darkness sometimes

Oh, everybody gets his share, mmm

'Cause we all have our cross to bear

Don't Worry Baby lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by The Beach Boys)

(This one's for Alexa, okay?)

Ah, ah ah, ah... Ah, ah ah, ah...

Well, it's been building up inside of me for, oh, I don't know how long

I don't know why but I keep thinking something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes and makes me realize and she says

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby) Ooh ooh

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut when I started to brag about my car

But I can't back down now because I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive and makes me wanna drive when she says

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

She told me, baby when you race today, just take along my love with you

And if you knew how much I loved you, baby, nothing could go wrong with you

Oh, what she does to me when she makes love to me and she says...

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Everything will turn out all right

(Don't worry, baby) Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

Elvis Presley Blvd. lyrics - Billy Joel

Once long ago, all the faithful held a show

Down in Elvis Presley Boulevard on Memphis radio

Where the hopeless held a vigil, and the nameless played the charts

Where the losers lost their sorrow, and the lonely left their hearts

Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell

"Love me so tender!" I cried

Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

I'm so alone I could die

I took a ride with my baby by my side

Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard where all the faithful cried

And I saw that silent mansion, and I knew that I was lost

They were selling plastic souvenirs of Elvis on the cross

Step on these shoes, and I'll see you in hell

"Love me so tender!" I cried

Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

I'm so alone I could die

Drive down that road tonight. Everyone is gone

Nobody's home, but the light's always on

Man, I was beat, I was driven by the heat

Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard. A one-way dead-end street

And I smashed my car to pieces and I said "Goodbye" to youth

I heard all the ugly rumors and I could not face the truth

Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

I'm so alone I could die

Drive down that road tonight. Everyone is gone

Nobody's home, but the light's always on

Heartbreak Hotel lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Elvis Presley)

(from "Honeymoon In Vegas" soundtrack)

Well, since my baby left me

I found a new place to dwell

It's down at the end of lonely street

Heartbreak Hotel

I get so lonely baby

I get so lonely

I get so lonely I could die

And although it's always crowded

You still can find some room

Where broken hearted lovers

To cry away their gloom

I get so lonely baby

I get so lonely

I get so lonely I could die

Well, the bellhop's tears keep flowing

And the desk clerk's dressed in black

Well, they been so long on lonely street

They're never coming back

I get so lonely baby

I get so lonely

I get so lonely I could die

Hey now, if your baby leaves you

And you got a tale to tell

Just take a walk down lonely street

To Heartbreak Hotel

You get so lonely, baby

You get so lonesome

You get so lonesome, you could die

Although it's always crowded

You still can find some room

For those broken hearted lovers

Cry away the blues

Get so lonely, baby

Get so lonely

They get so lonely, I could die

I get so lonely baby

I get so lonely

I get so lonely I could die

Highway 61 Revisited lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Bob Dylan)

One, two, one, two, three, four

Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son."

Abe says, "Man, you must be putting me on."

God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"

God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but

The next time you see me coming you better run"

Well, Abe says, "Where do you want this killing done?"

God says, "Out on Highway 61."

Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose

Welfare department wouldn't give him no clothes

He asked poor Howard where can I go?

Howard said, "There's only one place I know."

Sam said, "Tell me quick, man. I got to run."

Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun

And said, "That way down on Highway 61."

All right, my friendly baby

Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King

"I got 40 red, white and blue shoe strings

And a thousand telephones that don't ring

Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"

And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son."

He said, "Yes. I think it can be easily done

Just take everything down to Highway 61."

Aw, breakdown!

Now, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night

Told the first father that things weren't right

"My complexion," she said, "is much too white."

He said,, "Come here and step into the light."

He says, "Hmm, you're right

Let me tell the second mother this has been done."

Aw but the 2nd mother was with the 7th son

And they were both out on Highway 61

Now, the roving gambler. He was very bored

He was trying to create a next world war

He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor

He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before

But yes I think it can be very easily done

We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun

And have it on Highway 61."

Highway 61

Hey... all right... all right

I've got blisters on my fingers!

House Of Blue Light lyrics - Billy Joel

Well, I'm driving on down to the surfside bar

These days my old shovelhead, she don't travel far

But she goes where I want and now I want to be

Where all the locals go to keep each other company

They all drive Chevy pick-ups in the morning

They all ride Harley-Davidsons at night

They all work for somebody

Who makes all the money

And pays them just enough to get tight

In the house of blue light

House of blue light

Well, I'm driving on down to meet a woman there

She got the long legs, the red lips and the golden hair

She knows what to do to make a man feel good

She's the hardest working woman in this neighborhood

She don't mind making breakfast in the morning

She don't mind making love every night

She says come see me honey

And bring lots of money

'Cause we know how to treat you right

At the house of blue light

House of blue light

House of blue light

House of blue light

You know this life is filled with grief

Sometimes it gets you so down

You got to find yourself some kind of relief

And there's a roadhouse right outside of town

Roadhouse of blue light

Well, I've been around the world a dozen times or more

And I never really knew what I was searching for

Till I came to this place on a midnight ride

I pulled next to a full dress Electra-Glide

They had a band playing blues from Mississippi

They had a bar that kept customers in sight

They had some fine architecture

And a view that would get you

To want to spend the whole damn night

In the house of blue light

House of blue light

House of blue light

House of blue light

I'll Cry Instead lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by The Beatles)

One, two, a-one two three four

I got every reason on earth to be mad

'Cause I just lost the only girl I had

If I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today

But I can't, so I'll cry instead

I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger that my feet

I can't talk to people that I meet

If I could see you now, I'd try to make you sad somehow

But I can't, so I'll cry instead

I don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away, hey

But I'll be back again someday

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

'Cause I'll be breaking hearts all around the world

Yes, I'm gonna break them in two and show 'em what your loving man can do

Until then, I'll cry instead

Oh I don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna lock myself away, hey

But I'll be back again someday

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

'Cause I'll be breaking hearts all around the world

Yes, I'm gonna break them in two and show 'em what your loving man can do

Until then, I'll cry instead

Until then, I'll cry instead

Until then, I'll cry instead

Thank you very much. Thank you all

In A Sentimental Mood lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Duke Ellington)

(from "A League Of Their Own" soundtrack)

In a sentimental mood

I can see the stars come through my room

While your loving attitude

Is like a flame that lights the gloom

On the wings of every kiss

Drifts a melody so strange and sweet

In this sentimental bliss

You make my paradise complete

Rose petals seem to fall

It's all I could dream to call you mine

My heart's a lighter thing

Since you made this night a thing divine

In a sentimental mood

I'm within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt that you'd be

Loving sentimental me

In a sentimental mood

I'm within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt that you'd be

Loving sentimental me

Live And Let Die lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Paul McCartney & Wings)

When you were young and your heart was an open book

You used to say live and let live

(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)

But if this ever changing world in which we're living

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

(Live and let die)

Live and let die

(Live and let die)

What does it matter to you?

When you got a job to do

You got to do it well

You got to give the other fellow hell

You used to say live and let live

(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)

But if this ever changing world in which we're living

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

(Live and let die)

Live and let die

(Live and let die)

Maybe I'm Amazed lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Paul McCartney)

Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time

And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time

You hung me on the line

Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man

Who's in the middle of something

That he doesn't really understand

Baby, I'm a man

And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me

Baby, won't you help me to understand?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man

Who's in the middle of something

That he doesn't really understand

Baby, I'm a man

And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me

Baby, won't you help me to understand?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time

Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song

Right me when I'm wrong

Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man

Who's in the middle of something

That he doesn't really understand

Baby, I'm a man

And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me

Baby, won't you help me to understand?

Ooh-ooh-yeah

Maybe I'm amazed

Maybe I'm amazed

Maybe I'm amazed

Maybe I'm amazed with you

Money Or Love lyrics - Billy Joel

One-two-three-four

Money or love, which one are you doing it for?

Everybody has to make that choice sometime, you know

Something is wrong, I can tell the feeling is gone

Do you still remember when we started long ago?

Wasn't it love that kept us all driving in a rented car?

Who could've known that endless road would ever have come this far?

Money or love, it's your decision where to draw the line

Everybody has a soul they can control or compromise

When did you start putting a price upon the pain in your heart?

When did I become the reason for the sadness in your eyes?

You could've asked me anytime, I would've told you why

Maybe I might have changed your mind, but now it's too late to try

Goodbye

Often I have asked myself

Could I have been closer to you

When you needed someone else

Could a friend who really knew you try help you decide

Money or love, tell me what ya gonna do with your life?

Everybody needs a passion or they cash in while they can

Make up your mind, before you realize you've run out of time

You need a reason why, you've got to justify to make your stand

You could've asked me anytime, I would've told you why

Maybe I might never change your mind, but now it's too late to try

Goodbye

Money or love

Wasn't it love that kept us all driving in a rented car?

Who could've known that endless road would ever have come this far?

Was it money or love?

Money or love?

Was it money or love? Money or love?

Money or love? Money or love? Money or love?

Was it money or love? Was it money or love? Was it love...?

Motorcycle Song lyrics - Billy Joel

Hey...

Well, I'm driving down this road, on this big old motorcycle

I've been riding here so many years that I've forgotten why

Just some Island boys and I cruising down that Sunrise Highway

Though when I get west to Lake Success I turn and say goodbye

To Jericho Road, I've already been every place I'm going

Jericho Road, don't have any need to prove nothing to no one

Go where you want, still might be riding for all that I know

Put in my time, drawing the line on the Jericho Road

Well, it's a long and nasty life, see myself from falling

Only mightiness, I don't believe I've ever had the chance

Now I know she's waiting there yeah she waits for me in silence

It's... I had a chance, as long as I can go

To Jericho Road, never had a...run away

Jericho Road, one of a...on a lake... far as I know...

[?]

...No Promised Land on the Jericho Road

Yeah, la la la...

In a wave or two I fly, when I feel myself come falling

On the motorway... a holiday, oh so cleverly mine

It's a shame I had a chance, but I live here in the darkness

Not a lot that I can do, an ordinary guy

Jericho Road, I've known all along...

Jericho Road, had a lot of long... summer silence

Should've been lost... nobody knows

...on a Jericho Road

La la la...

Nobody Knows But Me lyrics - Billy Joel

I got a friend that nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

I got a friend that nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

Oh, Mama thinks I'm talking to myself again

I know she thinks I'm out of my mind

But I'm really talking to my secret friend

We get along just fine

I got a friend that nobody hears

Nobody hears but me

I got a friend that nobody hears

Nobody hears but me

Oh, I always go to sleep when my Daddy says

I kiss him and turn out the light

But my friend is sitting on the edge of the bed

Talking to me every night

Everybody says it's just a stage I'm in

Everybody says I'm just a kid

But they've never traveled to the places I've been

Or done the crazy things that my friend and I did

Well, I got a friend that nobody sees

Nobody sees but me

I got a friend that nobody sees

Nobody sees but me

I got a friend that nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

I got a friend that nobody knows

Nobody hears

Nobody sees

Nobody's spoken to

And nobody can

Nobody knows but me!

Only A Man lyrics - Billy Joel

Only a man whose broken can appreciate the awful thing I feel

Only a man whose world is always real can ever know

And who could understand the all consuming pain

Only a man whose weeping in the rain knows where to go

And it's not easy

When you realize that you are on your own

No, no, it's not easy

When you face the thought of living all alone

Only a man who wanders through the emptiness of every passing day

This is the man whose eyes know what to see and what to say

And who could ever know the feeling in my heart

Only a man whose hopes and dreams are broken all apart

And it's not easy

When you reach out in the dark to touch her face

No, no, it's not easy

When instead you touch a pillow in her place

Na na na na, na na na na

Na na na na, na na na na, na na

Na na na na, na na na na, na na

Na na na na, na na na na

Na na na na, na na na na na

And it's not easy

When you think about the way she combs her hair

No, no, it's not easy

When the memory of her is everywhere

Only a man who lies awake and wonders will he never smile again

And this is the only man whose lonely nights can never end

And if you want to know what kind of man he'll be

Oh, listen my friend, I'll tell you all you'll have to know is me

And it's not easy, no, no

It's not easy

Oh, it's not easy

Why, no, why

Well, it's not easy

No, tell me, no, no, no

Oyster Bay lyrics - Billy Joel

From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean

Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore

Well today it's San Francisco and tomorrow it's L.A.

And I feel as though I've been this way before

Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walking

But my manager he stands right outside the door

Yes there's an up and coming superstar and he's getting rave reviews

But there ain't no time for fishing anymore

I never thought that things would go this far

I never thought that life would be this way

I never thought I'd be a superstar

Jesus Christ, I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

Taking it easy, oh yeah

But there's lots of friendly folks that say, "Good morning,"

But somehow, you know, I don't believe their smiles

I could be New York City bound where I could be among my friends

But the road back home it seems a million miles

I can see the lights of Hollywood below me

But somehow they just don't move me like they should

I know it's hard to understand, but I would be a fisherman

If I only had the chance, you know I would

I never thought that things would go this far

I never thought that I'd be here today

I never thought I'd be a superstar

Oh, Jesus Christ, I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

Taking it easy, oh yeah

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)

The End Of The World lyrics - Billy Joel

This is your life, you've got problems with your wife

She once made you mashed potatoes, now she gives you Minute Rice

And she used to do your laundry now she sends it out instead

And she always made believe that she was satisfied in bed

That's what she used to say, but that's how things were yesterday

Looks like the good ol' days were gone

That's how she used to be, but that goes down as history

Time has the way of movin' on

Oh I know she was there when you needed lovin' care

And she only used the car to drive the children everywhere

And I'm sure she washed the windows and I'm sure she waxed the floors

But now she doesn't call you her Prince Charming anymore

That's what she used to say, but that's how things were yesterday

Looks like the good ol' days were gone

That's how she used to be but that goes down as history

Time has the way of movin' on

She's not the sweet little girl that she was before

You're not the end of her world anymore

You're not the end of the world

She wins when you fight and she goes to school at night

She leaves you home to babysit and watch "The Price Is Right"

And she wants the joint account to see where all the money goes

So she doesn't have to talk you into buying all the clothes

That's what she used to say, but that what things were yesterday

Looks like the good ol' days was bored

That's how she used to be, but that goes down as history

Time bridged the way of movin' on

She's not your little girl that she was before

You're not the end of her world anymore

You're not the end of the world

The Siegfried Line lyrics - Billy Joel

Oh, the guns are silent

On the Western wall

And we clean the rifles

That we never use at all

And we're writing letters

Just to pass the time

And the days go by

On the Siegfried Line

Oh, they say the English

Have given up the war

And we heard the Russians

Won't last through '44

But a long-time soldier

Has an open mind

And a man grows old

On the Siegfried Line

Soon, soon

They say the war will be over

Oh, whoa

Home, home

We will be home in the summer

No, no

Oh, we line the campfire

And we drink the beer

And we know the flag we fly

Must last a thousand years

And we eat Dutch chocolate

And we drink French wine

And they feed us well

On the Siegfried Line

Soon, soon

They say the war will be over

Oh, whoa

Home, home

We will come home in the summer

No, no

These Rhinestone Days lyrics - Billy Joel

Now, we live our lives so nonchalant

We spend our time so bon vivant

Our stylish nights, so well-arranged

Those tasteful words that we exchanged

We know it's all a passing phase

We light our lamps for atmosphere

And hang our hopes on chandeliers

I don't know why we even care

We try and try, and get nowhere

We'll change our minds, we've changed our ways

These rhinestone days

So go our lives, so nonchalant

Spend our time, so bon vivant

I don't know why we even care

We'll try and try, and get nowhere

We'll change our minds, we've changed our ways

These rhinestone days

Turn The Lights Back On lyrics - Billy Joel

Please open the door

Nothing is different, we've been here before

Pacing these halls

Trying to talk over the silence

And pride sticks out its tongue

Laughs at the portrait that we've become

Stuck in a frame, unable to change

I was wrong

I'm late, but I'm here right now

Though I used to be romantic

I forgot somehow

Time can make you blind

But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?

Here, stuck on a hill

Outsiders inside the home that we built

The cold settles in

It's been a long winter of indifference

And maybe you love me, maybe you don't

Maybe you'll learn to, maybe you won't

You've had enough, but I won't give up

On you

I'm late, but I'm here right now

And I'm tryin' to find the magic

That we lost somehow

Maybe I was blind

But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?

I'm late, but I'm here right now

Is there still time for forgiveness?

Won't you tell me how?

I can't read your mind

But I see you now

As we're layin' in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?

I'm here right now

Yes, I'm here right now

Looking for forgiveness

I can see as we're laying in the darkness

Yeah, as we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?

When You Wish Upon A Star lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Cliff Edwards)

When a star is born

They receive a gift or two

One of them is this

They have the power to make a dream come true

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

Love's sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true

Ooh, like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and I sees you through

When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true

Where Were You (On Our Wedding Day?) lyrics - Billy Joel

(originally by Lloyd Price)

(from "Runaway Bride" soundtrack)

Where were you on our wedding day?

I got bad news that you went away

Where were you on our wedding day?

You did me wrong now you must pay

Whoa oh, give me back my ring, whoa oh

Whoa oh, I ain't gonna let you keep a thing, whoa oh

Where were you when I said "I do"?

Everybody laughed and my inlaws too

Where were you when I turned around?

Some place you knew you never could be found

Whoa oh, give me back my ring, whoa oh

Whoa oh, I ain't gonna let you keep a thing, whoa oh

Where were you when I searched the town

And turned the whole neighborhood upside down?

Where were you, little girl I say?

Where were you on our wedding day?

Whoa oh, give me back a my ring, whoa oh

Whoa oh, I ain't gonna let you keep a thing, whoa oh

Why Should I Worry? lyrics - Billy Joel

(from "Oliver & Company" soundtrack)

One minute I'm in Central Park

Then I'm down on Delancey Street

Said from the Bowery to St Marks

Heh, there's a syncopated beat

Alright

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

I'm streetwise, I can improvise

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

I'm street smart, I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

I may not have a dime

But I got street savoir-faire

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just bebop-ulation

And I got street savoir-faire

Mm-hmm

The rhythm of the city

Boy, once you get it down

Said you can own this town

You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?

Tell me, why should I care?

Say I may not have a dime

Oh, but I got street savoir-faire

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just doo-wop-ulation

And I got street savoir-faire

Everything goes

Everything fits

They love me at the Chelsea

They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?

Why should I care? Yeah!

Even when I cross that line

I got street savoir-faire

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Said whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

Whoo-hoo-whoo-hoo-hoo

You Picked A Real Bad Time lyrics - Billy Joel

Don't get me wrong

I ain't the kind

To turn away from you

When something's on your mind

But you had to know

You just had to see

I'm having my troubles baby

And they're all too much for me

You picked a real bad time to spoil my concentration

You picked a real bad time to pass along bad news

Tell me why you're tryin' to give me aggravation

You picked a real bad time 'cause this man's got the blues

Don't you get me wrong

You're not alone

I'd like to help you

But I got problems of my own

It's a bitter phase

I'm going through

And I can run from strangers, darling

But I just can't hide from you

You picked a real bad time to spoil my concentration

You picked a real bad time to pass along bad news

Tell me why you're tryin' to give me aggravation

You picked a real bad time and I ain't got time to lose

Ain't it the truth when they say

That the only thing worth dying for is our freedom

Ain't it the truth that someday

We will all be lying on our backs

Free at last from income

Don't you get me wrong

The mood won't last

And I'll be myself again

Soon as this pain passed

I'm standing here

Don't ask me how

I'll make it up to you

Someday but not right now

You picked a real bad time to spoil my concentration

You picked a real bad time to pass along bad news

Tell me why you're tryin' to give me aggravation

You picked a real bad time 'cause this man's got the blues

Ain't it the truth when they say

All you need is love

But all you'll want is forgiveness

Ain't it the proof that someday

Even love will not provide for man

The ways that life insurance can

You picked a real bad time to spoil my concentration

You picked a real bad time to pass along bad news

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Tell me why you're tryin' to give me aggravation

You picked a real bad time 'cause this man's got the blues
