Stage Fright (Song Lyrics) (IP)


from the ABC set Lyrics

Verse 1

Think I’m gonna swoon.
I’ll be up there soon;
up on that stage.
Where’s my courage?

Standing all alone;
just a microphone
for company.
Just mic and me.

Verse 2

What will people think?
Think I’ll have a drink
to steady me,
or two or three.

I’m so full of doubts.
What if I back out?
Just sneak away.
What would they say?

Chorus:

Standing in the spotlight.
That’s my idea of hell.
Please god, take the spotlight;
point it at someone else.

Thought I was a big star
but I am just a clown.
In that sea of faces,
I know that I will drown.

Verse 3

Don’t think I can speak.
Starting to feel weak;
weak at the knees.
God help me please.

I know I’ll freeze up;
my brain will seize up.
So very shy;
so many eyes.

Verse 4

Look at all the rest.
They seem to be blessed
with confidence.
Is it pretense?

They’re calling my name.
My moment of shame.
It’s too late now
but, never mind,
I’ll get through some how.

That sure is the attitude to have, well-wisher. I'll certainly drink to that!

Much enjoyed;-)
