Entertainer

I am the entertainer I know just where I stand

Another serenader another long haired man

Today I am your champion I may have won your heart

But I know the game you'll forget my name I won't be here in another year

If I don't stay on the charts

I am the entertainer had to pay my price

Things I didn't know at first I learned by doing twice

But still they come to haunt me still they want their say

So I learn to dance with my hands in my pants

Rub my neck and just write 'em a check and they'll be on their way

I am the entertainer I've been all around the world

I played all kinds of places played all kinds of girls

I don't remember faces I don't remember names

What the hell it's just as well cause after a while and a thousand miles

It all becomes the same

I am the entertainer I come to do my show

You heard my latest record spin on the radio

Well it took me years to write it the best years of my life

It's a beautiful song but it ran too long wanna have a hit you gotta make it fit

So they cut it down to 3:05

I am the entertainer Idol of my age

Make all kinds of money boy when I go on the stage

They see me in the paper and in the magazines

If I go cold my feet get sore put me in the back of the discount rack

like another can of beans

I am the entertainer know just where I stand...

I am the entertainer
