Singer Not The Song

(album: The Lexicon Of Love II - 2016)

Somewhere in the chorus
Somewhere in the verse
You're boxing for the glory
Fighting for the purse

Somewhere in the chorus
Somewhere in the verse
Things get better before they get worse

I'm not the bass player or the drummer in the band
I don't do much by the microphone stand
Hanging round the back stage, sharpie in my hand
It's all I ever do, it's hard to understand

Singer in the spotlight
Dancer in the moonlight
Someone to love somewhere tonight

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
The singer, not the song
Your heartfelt entertainer

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
Singer, not the song
I'm here to serenade ya

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
A modest troubadour

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
I sing and nothing more

I'm the player, not the game
The player, not the game
I watch them come from near and far
She don't remember my name
Remember my name
No one gives a damn who you think you are

Somewhere in the chorus
Somewhere in the verse
Some days the band refuse to rehearse

Somewhere in the chorus
Somewhere in the verse
Everyday's a blessing, never a curse

Singer in the spotlight
Dancer in the moonlight
Someone to love somewhere tonight

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
The singer, not the song
Your heartfelt entertainer

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
Singer, not the song
I'm here to serenade ya

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
A modest troubadour

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
I sing and nothing more

Singer in the spotlight
Dancer in the moonlight
Someone to love somewhere tonight

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
The singer, not the song
Your heartfelt entertainer

I'm the singer, not the song, yeah
Singer, not the song
I'm here to serenade ya

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
A modest troubadour

I'm the singer, not the song
The singer, not the song
I sing and nothing more
