Work The Room Lyrics


Open a door
On the seventeenth floor
Secretary sends me through
Walkin' right in
With a big time grin
But I'm shakin' in my shoes
Suit one shakes my hand
But it takes him a beat to recall my name
Gotta move it along
Gotta play somethin' strong
Gotta show 'em why I came
Work the room
Work the room, baby
Nobody here want's to know you
But tomorrow they'll be talkin' about you
Work the room

Startin' in sweet
With a rockin' beat
Show 'em I can really ride
Not about fluff
Get the serious stuff
Here's my softer side
Suit two frowns
As I'm bringin' him down?
Or does it mean he's in the groove?
Back to the beat
Activatin' their feet
See the Pradas start to move
Work the room
They're movin'
Work the room
Oh baby
Watch them beginnin' to wonder
You can bet tomorrow
They'll have serious hunger
Work the room
Come on and work the room
Go one step up
Or all the way back
Take the turns
Or jump the track
Rise an inch or fall for a mile
All the time remember to smile
Stoppin' the show
But they don't say go
Suddenly smiles all around
Man oh man
We're shakin' hands
Telling me they like my sound
Big suit smilin' at me
Talkin' about sales and fame
Everybody's talkin' to me
Makin' it like I got it
Dammit now they know my name
Work the room
They want me
Work the room
Shit I got it
You went in an unsung zero
You're comin' out a musical hero
Never gonna have to work the room
Never gonna have to work the room again
Never gonna have to work the room again
Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna
Work the room again
Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna
Work the room again

Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)."

In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records number one Adult Contemporary artist and winning three straight American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. Several well-known entertainers have given Manilow their "stamp of approval," including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s regarding Manilow, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."

As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending relationship with the hotel. From March 2010, he has headlined at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide
