They Took The Show On The Road

[Verse 1]
I saw them on the street
Day in day out
The feeling was too much to bear
They passed me by
And I could see they never noticed I was even there
I guess to her, I was just a nickel dime performance
(Nickel dime performance)
So now she feels that she must go on to a better romance
(To a better romance)

[Chorus]
They took the show on the road (They took the show on the road)
Left me standing in the shadow (Left me standing in the shadow)
They took the show on the road (They took the show on the road)
Left me standing in the shadow (Left me standing in the shadow)

[Verse 2]
I'm not one to envy someone fortunate (Someone fortunate)
Someone else’s happiness (Happiness happiness)
But if I could I'd surely would exchange (If I could I would)
And he like me would reminisce (Reminisce)
Cause they're running all over town (Running)
Being seen in intimate places (Running running running)
Running it in the ground (Running running)
Smiling for the many faces (Running running running)
Ooh

[Chorus]
They took the show on the road (They took the show on the road)
And left me standing in the shadow
(Left me standing in the shadow)
Oh they took it
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
Left me standing in the shadow (Left me standing in the shadow)

[bridge]

[Verse 3]
Well it wouldn’t hurt so bad (It wouldn't hurt so bad)
If everybody didn't know it
But they act like they're on stage (Act like they're on stage)
And stand before the world to show it

[Outro]
They took the show on the road (They took the show on the road)
Wooh
Left me standing (Left me standing)
Standing in the shadow (In the shadow)
Oh-hoh they took it
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
Left me standing in the shadow (Left me standing in the shadow)
Ooh they took it
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
Left me standing in the shadow (Left me standing in the shadow)
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
Left me standing (Left me standing in the shadow)
Ooh in the shadow (oh oh, oh oh oh)
They took it
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
[Fade out]
And left me standing in the shadow
(Left me standing in the shadow)
Oh they took it
Took the show on the road (Took the show on the road)
Left me standing -
