If It Should Please You Lyrics - 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, take it away 

We're gonna take it real easy
