There's a splinter on my finger makes it hard to play
But you came home late from a long hard day
And it's the surest way I know that I can make you smile
So I'll try

There's a blister on my thumb that makes it hard to strum
I went out last night and I did something dumb
But I pray music will soothe your savage tongue
Or else I'm done.

Would you be my biggest fan?
Would you love me for all that I am?
All these aches and pains I'll bear
As long as I'm performing I don't care
As long as you're before me I don't care..

There's a polyp on my throat that makes it hard to sing
I was strumming so hard that I broke a string
But I know all I have to do is carry a tune
to make you swoon...

There's some sawdust in my noggin makes it hard to think
Lyrics slip away like score marks on a skating rink
But I know you'll still be there singing along
When the words come out wrong

Would you be my biggest fan?
Would you love me for all that I am?
All these aches and pains I'll bear
As long as I'm performing I don't care
As long as you're before me I don't care..

Oh I'll sing through the aches
And I'll sing through the pains
Oh I'll sing through what's wrong
till it's right again...

Busted body, leaden soul
But this ain't ballet it's rock 'n' roll...

There's a bruise on my leg that makes it hard to stand
But there ain't no chair at the front of the band
But with your eyes all on my I will stay strong
The show must go on...

Would you be my biggest fan?
Would you love me for all that I am?
All these aches and pains I'll bear
As long as I'm performing I don't care
As long as you're before me I don't care..

I don't care...

There's a splinter on my finger makes it hard to play
There's a blister on my throat that makes it hard to strum
There's a polyp on my throat that makes it hard to sing
But for you I'd do most anything...
For you I'd do most anything...
