lyrics

I've embarrassed the piano again
I swore I'd learn new chords and
find new words to make pretend
But I'm afraid I've embarrassed the piano again

I don't know a single opera
I have no candles for candleabras
I waste my time
Writing songs that have to rhyme
And I'm afraid I've embarrassed the piano again.

maybe now you'll finally hear
but sweet nothings don't launch careers
I've even tried to plagiarize
beyond my size
But I'm afraid I've embarrassed the piano again.

I've learned what I've learned for you
it comes from all that we've been through
Every verse is a charm
and it's a curse
And I'm afraid I've embarrassed the piano again.

Ben Smith West Chester, Pennsylvania

West Chester, PA songwriter Ben Smith's songs sound good in both your front parlor and your back barroom---all Tin Pan Alley piano and a fading choirboy voice.
