Lyrics

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)
