Description Backstage (I'm Lonely)- "Gene Pitney" - Peak Position;#25 in 1966 A thousand hands applaud tonight. I sing my songs, my star shines bright I stop and smile, I take my bow. I leave the stage and then somehow. Backstage I`m lonely. Backstage I cry. You`ve gone away and each night I seem to die a little. Out on that stage, I play the star. I`m famous now, I`ve come so far. A famous fool, I let love go. I didn`t know I`d miss you so. Backstage I`m lonely. Backstage I cry. Hating myself since I let you say goodbye. Every night a different girl. Every night a different club. And yet I`m lonely all the time. When I sign my autograph. When I hold an interview. Can`t get you out of my mind. Come back my love. Come back to me. I need you now so desperately. What good is fame it`s just a game. I`d give it all to be the same. Backstage, I wait now hoping I`ll see. Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me... Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me... Backstage,... Backstage...
