She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears
but when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears
a little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true
everything is different when he's singing right to you

her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer
but don't you love a singer whatever you do

let the crowd press on the stage
and let the lights wash out their eyes
sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized
and then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage
and the roadies came and picked me out from on the barricade

Honest, it's alright to be a singer
but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do

I wouldn't change for a moment my life or my ideals
but once I loved a singer and I know just how you feel
for him to say so plainly what your heart can vouch is true
means something is connecting you, something is connecting you

Honest, it's alright to be a singer
but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do
don't you love a singer
don't you love a singer
