"Backstage" lyrics

"Backstage"

Oh yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh

He's the entertainer
Smiling as though nothing's wrong
Now the crown is standing
He's touching their heart with his song

Nobody knows he's hurting inside
Nobody knows the times he has cried

Backstage, when the crowd is gone
Backstage, when his life is his own, yeah
Backstage, he's lost and alone 'cause there's
Nobody waiting in the wings for him
To love (love)
No, no, no, no, no

When the gleaming glitter
He seems much more than a man
Before the night is over
He hopes to touch every being, oh yes

Nobody knows by looking at him
Nobody knows he's just like them

Backstage, he is a human being, yeah
Backstage, his heart is twing
Backstage, he's a scene worth seeing 'cause there's
Nobody waiting in the wings for him
To love (love)
No, no, nobody with him
To love (love)

Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo-do-do-do-do

One so many love him tonight
One so many please treat him right
When the curtain goes down
And the spotlight goes dim
Not because he's the entertainer
No, no, no

But just because he's him (him)
Somebody love the man
Because he's him (him)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Backstage, when the curtain is closed
Backstage, the real man is exposed, yeah
Backstage, who would have ever supposed that
Nobody waiting in the wings for him (nobody waiting in the wings for him)
To love (love)

Oh baby, I need a standing ovation sometimes (love)
(Nobody waiting in the wings for him)
You can't see no man no man in the wings here to love
Oh yeah (love)
Where did all of the fine ladies go? (Love)
I don't know (nobody waiting in the wings for him)
Nobody seem to be waiting to love (love) yeah (love)
Nobody (nobody waiting) nobody waiting (in the wings for him)
To love (love)
