Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Suffered so much for what he did
Gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end, he wants to start all over again
I've got fire water right on my breath
The doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, you can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end, he wants to start all over again
Now when he says that he's afraid
No one want to take the man his word
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird
My brow is sweatin' and my mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end, he wants to start all over again
No no now please don't get start
