Lyrics
You say there's somthing on your mind, but you can't tell us now
You say there is a new thought you just have found.
Well people are tellin' us what not to be;
Hey Buddy, Just-a listen to me:
If you can be yourself then you can be proud.
(And) There's a new Old Song that I just have heard;
And although it was new I knew the words.
And I looked back and I yelled "Hey Jude:!!!
You were the best man, and I'll miss you."
And ain't it 'funny' how Life can hurt?
NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa
NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa
NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa
NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa
And there's a knotted chord running through my head
I played upon it until my fingers had bled.
Standing on a stage in a hot spotlight
And singing songs all through the night
Until the last chord struck fades to a thread.
[repeat chorus]
{And} Not every song that's played will be a Masterpiece,
Nor every rhyme that's sung will create World Peace.
But there are some songs that make you sing out loud --
Who knew you were so vocally endowed?
Except the neighbors, who've just redialed the Police
[repeat chorus 3x]
