Behind curtains of a large date show I sit here all alone Though I waited turn To sing of love Really I have no one of my own I have no one of my own And when I cry to you that I love you If this could only be true And when I say to you that I need you Oh my darlin' I really do Hoping that you love me too Really I have no one of my own I have no one of my own I'm so unhappy But the show [they say] must go on So I'll try to pretend These songs to you I sing Hoping that someone will come along Who will see through me and my song And when I cry to you that I love you If this could only be true And when I say to you that I need you Oh my darlin' I really do Hoping that you love me too Hoping that you come along Hoping you see through me and my song Behind the curtain
