If It Should Please You, ©1987 by Gordon Lightfoot If it should please you, I have come to play A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way And a few good songs about the old highway I been around so long Lord, I guess I'm here to stay So I'm itching to please you, with a topical song And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown And I think I know how to make you feel We're one and the same now, like a big flywheel I have seen the best of all those things you can't explain Wanderlust I did not trust but I never did complain So if it should please you, put away those blues Just settle on back now, I'll do my licks for you It's my own way and that's the way it goes You're a real good reason for a real good show I have seen the best of all those things you don't forget Wanderlust I did not trust and I ain't been done in yet So if you got the dead end of the dealing shoe This is your last chance man, we belong to you It's my own way and that's the way I feel We're one and the same now, like a big flywheel So if it should please you, I have come to play A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way And a few good songs about the old highway I been around so long Lord, I guess I'm here to stay We're one and the same now, let's take it away We're gonna take it real easy, let's take it away We're gonna take it real easy, gonna take it away
