Everybody always asked me   How I got to play so fine?   And friends, I'm gonna tell ya   It really did take some time      Yes, after years and years of practice   And a case of real bad knees   While the other guys were out playin' with the football   I was home bangin' on the keys   And it got me      Right where I am   This is me   Playing the piano   Hope ya like what I do   It's for you   And I'll try and sing right too      I guess, I'm really very lucky   That I've got this thing to play   'Cause it can really make me feel good   Even when it's cloudy and gray      Yes, after years and years of practice   (And this changin' of love)   And awful allergies that made me sneeze   And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends   And I was still bangin' on the keys   And it got me      Right where I am   This is me   Playing the piano   Hope ya like what I do   It's for you   And I'll try and sing right too
