Gene Pitney Backstage Lyrics

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 goodbyeee

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 wait now hoping I'll see
Your smiling face waiting
there backstage for meeeeeeeeeeeee
Your smiling face waiting
backstage for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Backstage,
Backstage
