Go ahead with what you said
Tell a lie and make me cry
Some surprise was your disguise
You were fake what a fool I make
All the best loving all the rest
Break a leg, just knock 'em dead
Now I own the Lonely Show
I play the leading role
Then when you curtains close
the love of lovers goes
taking or leaving your heart
tattered and torn apart
with love making down to an art
to charm you from the start
Now I own the lonely Show
get your tickets at the gate
give the act a hand
doors are open for tonight's
feature one night stand
Heaven knows the Oscar goes
to those two eyes that mesmerize
The Golden Globe goes to that load
of love you lies and alibis
Center stage turns another page
and the love illusions gone
Now I own the Lonely Show
I play the leading role
Then when you curtains close
the love of lovers goes
taking or leaving your heart
tattered and torn apart
with love making down to an art
to charm you from the start
Now I own the lonely Show
get your tickets at the gate
give the act a hand
doors are open for tonight's
feature one night stand
Watch the winners come and go
bring the house down
for the blockbuster Lonely Show
