Rupert Holmes - Crowd Pleaser lyrics

He's a musician lately
He's wishin' he was a cop
'Cause he loves a crowd please, r
Dies when he sees her and it don't stop

I play guitar i back her up she's
The star of a bar band she packs 'em in
But, I'm packin' up 'cause this
Used to be our band night after night
They watch her move tightly up to that mike
And she steals the crowd's heart they may not
Know art but they know what they like

Crowd please, r wontcha please, me?
Crowd please, r wontcha please, be mine?
Here's how it is: the band was once his
Then she came along
And she moved the right way
And he gave her her say for
The price of a song

She sings the best this is the worst
And I can't stand to share her
So I'm gettin' out or she'll get me
First if I only could tear her
Face from their eyes
But I realize that's just what she needs
So I play till it stings and I choke
These metal strings till my
Lightnin' hand bleeds
Well I'm drawing the line 'cause she tells me
She's mine but she's sharing the wealth
I suppose I should leave 'cause I just can't
Believe this is good for my health

Crowd please, r, wontcha please, me?
Crowd please, r, wontcha please, be mine?
