Paul Demer - Singing at a Restaurant lyrics

Artist: Paul Demer

album: On the Way Back Down


I said sir I'm not a jukebox
I'm just one man
And it's hard to pull off Stairway without a band
I would sing it if I knew it
I'm trying the best I can
So please would you try and understand
That I'm singing at a restaurant
And getting kind of blue
It's not exactly what I wanna do
They say, son, one day you'll make it
But you've gotta pay your dues
That's why I'm singing at a restaurant for you
I was halfway through the second verse
When another soccer mom
Asked if I could play Since U Been Gone
Would you please give me a minute
I'm in the middle of my song
And I promise if you wait it won't be long
Oh but don't go feeling sad for me
Cause it really ain't that bad
Though the crowd won't always clap for me
They sometimes pay my tab
She was looking a little tipsy
When she asked me for the mic
It was late enough I didn't try to fight
Then my show turned karaoke
And in the blink of an eye
We had butchered Norah Jones's Don't Know Why
And now we're singing at a restaurant
And she's a little out of tune
I'm afraid we might just empty out the room
They say, son, one day you'll make it
And I hope it's someday soon
Till then I'm singing at a restaurant with you
That's why I'm singing at a restaurant for you
