[Intro]
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
There we go
[Verse 1]
I could write a song with my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
In the end, you'd find out that my heart was battered
Real hard (Real hard)
It's so hard (It's so hard)
Real hard (Real hard)
It's that hard (It's that hard)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna dance
Don't it make you wanna dance?
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
There we go
[Verse 1]
I could write a song with my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
In the end, you'd find out that my heart was battered
Real hard (Real hard)
It's so hard (It's so hard)
Real hard (Real hard)
It's that hard (It's that hard)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna dance
Don't it make you wanna dance?
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
[Chorus]
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
[Verse 2]
I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
In the end, you'll find out that my heart was battered
Real hard (It's not hard)
It's so hard (So hard)
Real hard (It's that hard)
It's that hard (It's that hard)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna dance
Don't it make you wanna dance?
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
[Verse 2]
I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
In the end, you'll find out that my heart was battered
Real hard (It's not hard)
It's so hard (So hard)
Real hard (It's that hard)
It's that hard (It's that hard)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna dance
Don't it make you wanna dance?
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
[Chorus]
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
[Bridge]
I'd rather tell you about how I'm feelin', boy
And how I'm doin' things my way
If I got my piano, then I know I'll be okay, baby
[Chorus]
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh, baby)
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano (Oh, baby)
So hold up and take it through the night (Oh-woah)
And you should follow through to make it alright (Oh-woah)
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh-woah)
I wanna see you rock to the piano (Oh, baby), the piano
So hold up and take it through the night (Oh-woah)
(Oh) And you should follow through to make it alright (Oh-woah)
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh-woah)
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
[Bridge]
I'd rather tell you about how I'm feelin', boy
And how I'm doin' things my way
If I got my piano, then I know I'll be okay, baby
[Chorus]
So hold up and take it through the night
And you should follow through to make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh, baby)
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano (Oh, baby)
So hold up and take it through the night (Oh-woah)
And you should follow through to make it alright (Oh-woah)
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh-woah)
I wanna see you rock to the piano (Oh, baby), the piano
So hold up and take it through the night (Oh-woah)
(Oh) And you should follow through to make it alright (Oh-woah)
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em up (Oh-woah)
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
[Outro]
I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard
I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard
