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)
