Backstage
A thousand hands
Applaud tonight
I sing my songs
My star shines bright
I stop and smile
I take my bow
I leave the stage
And then, somehow
Backstage
I'm lonely
Backstage, I cry
You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little
Out on that stage
I play the star
I'm famous now
I've come so far
A famous fool
I let love go
I didn't know I'd miss you so
Backstage
I'm lonely
Backstage, I cry
Hating myself since I let you say
Goodbye
Every night a different girl
Every night a different club
And yet I'm lonely
All the time
When I sign my autograph
When I hold an interview
Can't get you out of my mind
Come back, my love
Come back to me
I need you now
So desperately
What good is fame
It's just a game
I'd give it all to be the same
Backstage
I'll wait now hoping I'll see
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Your smiling face
Waiting backstage for me
Backstage
Backstage
Please come back
Please
Please come back
