Ever since the time that I was ten years old I dream about the way it would be Mama had me playing on that classical piano But that was not the music for me I had my very first introduction By singing in a local band I've got my rock and my roll instruction Playing every club in the land I made a deal with the angel of music And I found what you said was true If you give it to the people like the people want it They'll give it, they'll give it They'll give it right back to you I can't think of anything that I wouldn't do As long as someone wants me to sing You don't have to label me a Hollywood hero Just let me do my righteous thing! ‘Cos when the crowd they're just waiting for you And the lights they check-out okay There ain't no words to describe the feeling That everybody's come to hear you play (Yes I will) I made a deal with the angel of music And I learned what it's all about If you give it to the people like they wanna hear it They'll let it, they'll let it They'll let it all hang all night You know I, you know I made a deal with the angel of music And I found what she said it was true If you give it to the people like the people wanted They'll give it, they'll give it They'll give it right back to you I made a deal with the angel of music And I learned what it's all about If you give it to the people like they wanna hear it
