#1.(Capo 3rd fret for orig.) INTRO: C F C
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..
CHORUS:
Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry.
You've gone away and each night, I seem to die a little..
#2.
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.
CHORUS:
Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry.
Hating myself, since I let you say goodbye..
#3.
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.
#4.
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.
#5.
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...
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
