(From the 1982 "Reunion" Album, Written by Smokey Robinson,

Lead by Dennis Edwards)
|
|
He's the entertainer, Smiling as though there's nothing wrong,
|
|
Now the crowd is standing, He's touching their hearts with his song,
|
|
|
Nobody knows, He's hurting inside,
|
|
Nobody knows, The times he's cried,
|
|
Backstage, When the crowd is gone,
|
|
Backstage, When his life is his home,
|
|
Backstage, He's lost and alone, cause there's nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
|
|
|
In the gleam and glitter, He seems much more than a man,
|
|
Before the night is over, he hopes to touch every man,
|
|
|
Nobody knows, by looking at him
|
|
Nobody knows, he's just like them
|
|
|
Backstage, He's a human being
|
|
Backstage, His heart is clean
|
|
Backstage, Is scene worth seein', cause there's nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
|
|
|
(Richard)
|
|
Won't some lady love him tonight,
|
|
Won't some lady please treat him right,
|
|
When the curtain goes down,
|
|
And the spotlight goes dim, (Not because he's the entertainer)
|
|
|
But just because he's him
|
|
Sombody love the because he's him
|
|
|
Backstage, when the curtain is closed,
|
|
Backstage, the real man is exposed,
|
|
Backstage, who would have ever supposed, nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
|
|
|
nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
|
|
nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
|
|
nobody waiting in the wings for him to love, (love) (end)
