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 room
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 wait now, hoping i'll see
your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
your smiling face waiting backstage for me
backstage
backstage
