I don't want my picture in the paper,

I just want a minute of your time.

At a point, appreciate an answer

Any token would suit me fine.



I won't ask a question you can't answer,

Like do you remember All Shook Down?

At one time, it was your favorite record,

Now it's broken, not around

Baby I broke it, broke me down.



Strain of the show

Takes its toll

But you don't want to know



Maybe I don't know what I'm asking,

This is not the place or time to speak.

It's possible the piano may be drinking,

But it's not me, couldn't be,

I'm sincere as I can be.



Strain of the show

Takes its toll

But you don't want to know



Strain of the show

Takes it's toll

You don't want to know.
