BEEN A SINGER/SONGWRITER
FOR MOST OF MY LIFE
CONSTANTLY REJECTED
EACH ONE CUT LIKE A KNIFE
YOU’RE SONGS ARE TOO LONG
THE CHORUS COMES IN TOO LATE
IT SOUNDS OLD FASHIONED
JUST SEEMED TO BE MY FATE
OPRAH CALLED
SAID SHE LOVED MY SONG
IS THIS REALLY YOU I SAID
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG
OPRAH CALLED
SAID TO COME ON HER SHOW
AND NOW THEY’RE PLAYING MY SONG
ON THE RADIO
BOUGHT SOME NEW EQUIPMENT
IN THE HOPES I’D GET BETTER
BUT THE REJECTIONS KEPT COMING
LETTER AFTER LETTER
I THREW MOST OF THEM OUT
TOOK SOME OF THE ADVICE
BUT STUCK TO MY style
KEPT ROLLING THE DICE
(CHORUS)
SO ONE DAY I DECIDED
TO SEND OPRAH A SONG
NEVER THOUGHT SHE’D GET IT
BUT BOY I WAS WRONG
I KEPT TRUE TO MY SELF
AND TRUE TO MY style
NOW I’M SITTING HERE
WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE
