If It Should Please You - 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
