| | An Innocent Man Lyrics Artist(Band):Billy Joel
If there's a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in the hall outside And hope that it just passes by Some people live with the fear of a touch And the anger of having been a fool They will not listen to anyone So nobody tells them a lie I know you're only protecting yourself I know you're thinking of somebody else Someone who hurt you But I'm not above Making up for the love You've been denying you could ever feel I'm not above doing anything To restore your faith if I can Some people see through the eyes of the old Before they ever get a look at the young I'm only willing to hear you cry Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am Some people say they will never believe Another promise they hear in the dark Because they only remember too well They heard somebody tell them before Some people sleep all alone every night Instead of taking a lover to bed Some people find that it's easier to hate Than to wait anymore I know you don't want to hear what I say I know you're gonna keep turning away But I've been there and if I can survive I can keep you alive I'm not above going through it again I'm not above being cool for a while If you're cruel to me I'll understand Some people run from a possible fight Some people figure they can never win And although this is a fight I can lose The accused is an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man You know you only hurt yourself out of spite I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight That's your decision But I'm not below Anybody I know If there's a chance of resurrecting a love I'm not above going back to the start To find out where the heartache began Some people hope for a miracle cure Some people just accept the world as it is But I'm not willing to lay down and die Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man If you find some error in An Innocent Man Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about An Innocent Man The perfect theme song for a man that loves women | Reviewer: Lord Dragon | 7/4/09 I've played this song for three women to get them past being burned by bad men, the first was the mother of my son, the second lived with me until she died, and the third one was last night. Billy got it right. Malicious Love | Reviewer: Michael | 12/10/08 Sad thing in life indeed. Take someone who's gone through this, a lot of love and self-reflection to write this song (and of course, a lot of music talent). I believe this is the song written for the same woman in "Always a woman to me", and "I love you just the way you are". This woman in the song is tragically trapped in a world of self-justification, blame and spite, doing things emotionally hurtful to herself and her loved ones. I feel sorry for them both. Joel's been on the other side of the door too, and he can sympathize that. And yes, in his past life, someone could have written "An Innocent Woman" or "Always a man to me", though because of society the sufferings will be in a somewhat different form. The dilemma here is that probably this woman will even find the song offensive even though it's written out of love. Will you call this innocent or naive, love or obsession? The other question is how did the woman in this song get into this hurtful mess to start with? Could it be self-justifications, blame and spite, or is it something else? I hope there will be healing for these two poor souls. Exactly what Im going through right now | Reviewer: A. | 7/24/08 She's been hurt in the past by a couple guys. I'm trying to convince her to love again, since we've had such an immediate connection. Any little thing I do thats wrong though, she latches on to and won't deal with. Its frustrating, but I love this woman and I know she loves me too, we just have some walls to break through. Amen | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/26/07 This song had touched the heart of thousands of people and will keep on toughing the souls of people who love to hear a song about life and what it really about. Why does it hurt??? | Reviewer: xanz doe | 9/17/07 Because it's far too true of far too many. Nothing touches like real life - Joel spears us all with this one - we HEAR it because we KNOW it. Hardly a sweet bit of fluff, but a pleading - as all are guilty but at the same time each man is an innocent one. its about loving and living with courage | Reviewer: Susan | 8/20/07 its true therefore hard hitting. most people resist love and therefore life. by extention they also resist engagement with social causes, and choose to take it all lying down! guess you have to have been in love to realize the true worth of life and thus want to do everything you can to make life a wholesome experience. Heartbreaking song | Reviewer: Dione | 6/14/07 I find this one of the most heartbreaking songs ever...especially of course perfomed live. I absolutely love these lyrics. If you're in the sort of mood where you can relate to it, it can easily make you weepy. At least I can get that way:) Review the song An Innocent Man The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
