the temptations – backstage lyrics
(from the 1982 “reunion” alb-m, 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,
n-body knows, he’s hurting inside,
n-body 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 n-body 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,
n-body knows, by looking at him
n-body 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 n-body 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, n-body waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
n-body waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
n-body waiting in the wings for him to love, (love)
n-body waiting in the wings for him to love, (love) (end)
