Lyrics to "An Innocent Man" song by Billy Joel: Some people stay far away from the door If there's a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in t. .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's it's easier to hate Than to wait anymore.

The whole An Innocent Man album was done in the style of 1950s and '60s popular music. It was Joel's homage to the '60s-era R&B that he grew up on as well as his own romantic experiences as a teenager. Joel said in 1000 UK Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "Usually I agonize over every note, but this time the songs came pouring out of m. More songs from Billy Joel. More songs inspired by soul music. More songs covered by the Glee cast. More songs from 1984. Congratulations and best wishes to the Piano Man and his family. Except I think it could also be about a loving and deep relationship between friends or lovers. The lyrics describe different ways that people have difficulties in relationships, and how to overcome those difficulties.
