Upstaged (Demo)

(album: Annette (Unlimited Edition) - 2021)

[Announcer:]
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Cardea and Baby Annette!

[Cardea:]
Sing, child, sing!
I ain't never been upstaged by nobody
I ain't never been upstaged by nobody
But this is just a different thing
Are my talents now so limiting
Or is this a child who comes to us from God above us

If angels could sing
They'd sing like she sings
I pray she's for real
Look at the look in those tiny eyes

I ain't never been upstaged by nobody
I ain't never been upstaged by nobody

I should resent her, but I can't
She effects like an intoxicant
And our heads are spinning and we can't believe what we're hearing
I don't deserve to share the stage
And I don't mind that she's all the rage
So surreal when you consider her age
Are we all dreaming?
