It's just another summer, |
|
You hear a different drummer |
|
You're looking for a way to check out from this grind |
|
You wrestle with temptation, |
|
Your job is sheer frustration |
|
'Cause there's a lifetime chance you've yet to find |
|
Still you wonder if you've got the clout |
|
To make it happen in this cold-hearted town |
|
And you're feelin' that you're trapped |
|
You wonder should you just stop tryin' |
|
Well take a message from the man |
|
Who's not afraid to come on strong |
|
When there's magic in the music |
|
It's the singer not the song |
|
When it's comin' from the heart |
|
All the people sing along |
|
It's the man behind the music |
|
It's the singer not the song |
|
Inside you heart is achin' |
|
There's challenge for the taking |
|
So shoot it from the hip |
|
Believe in what you say |
|
You're calling this your best fight |
|
You're looking for the limelight |
|
Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way |
|
Well give the glory to the man |
|
Who's not afraid to come on strong |
|
When there's magic in the music |
|
It's the singer not the song |
|
When it's comin' from the heart |
|
All the people sing along |
|
It's the man behind the music |
|
It's the singer not the song |
