Backstage
                 "Gene Pitney"
          Peak Position;#25 in 1966

A thousand hands applaud tonight
I sing my songs my star shines bright
I stop and smile, I take by bow
I leave the stage and then somehow

Backstage I`m lonely
Backstage I cry
You`ve gone away and each night I seem to die a little

Out on that stage I play the star
I`m famous now I`ve come so far
A famous fool I let love go
I didn`t know I`d miss you so

Backstage I`m lonely
Backstage I cry
Hating myself since I let you say goodbye

Every night a different girl
Every night a different club
And yet I`m lonely all the time
When I sign my autograph
When I hold an interview
Can`t get you out of my mind

Come back my love
Come back to me
I need you now so desperately
What good is fame it`s just a game
I`d give it all to be the same

Backstage I wait now hoping I`ll see
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me...
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me...
Backstage,... Backstage...
