Behind curtains of a large date show
I sit here all alone
Though I waited turn
To sing of love
Really I have no one of my own
I have no one of my own

And when I cry to you that I love you
If this could only be true
And when I say to you that I need you
Oh my darlin' I really do
Hoping that you love me too

Really I have no one of my own
I have no one of my own

I'm so unhappy
But the show [they say] must go on
So I'll try to pretend
These songs to you I sing
Hoping that someone will come along
Who will see through me and my song

And when I cry to you that I love you
If this could only be true
And when I say to you that I need you
Oh my darlin' I really do
Hoping that you love me too
Hoping that you come along
Hoping you see through me and my song
Behind the curtain
