give it to the people
Singer:righteous brothers, the
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 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
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 all hang all night
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 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
