(Carly Simon)
|
|
Some folks like to stay at home
|
Some folks like to be alone
|
So when they finally come out of their nest
|
I've got to turn it on
|
I've got to be my best
|
The street may be slick with ice
|
And I'm sick with butterflies
|
And some other girl may be the talk of the town
|
I could lose my voice
|
Or I could split my gown
|
|
But when I'm in the spotlight
|
It's got to be a hot night
|
Even when I'm feeling down
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
|
I've won some and I have lost
|
But what I enjoy the most
|
Is never knowing how the evening will end
|
Will I be the joke or the comedienne
|
|
And when I'm in the spotlight
|
It's got to be a hot night
|
|
Even when I'm shivering cold
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
The show must go on
|
|
Repeat to end.

Background answers:
|
Even in a hurricane
|
Your contact lens goes down the drain
|
When your agent goes insane
|
When you can hardly stay awake
|
You'd rather stay at home and bake
|
When you've got a tummy-ache
|
To an audience of one
|
And you think he's got a gun
|
When laughing isn't any fun
|
You want to watch the end of ?heers?
