She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears 
but when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears 
a little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true 
everything is different when he's singing right to you 

her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer 
but don't you love a singer whatever you do 

let the crowd press on the stage 
and let the lights wash out their eyes 
sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized 
and then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage 
and the roadies came and picked me out from on the barricade 

Honest, it's alright to be a singer 
but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do 

I wouldn't change for a moment my life or my ideals 
but once I loved a singer and I know just how you feel 
for him to say so plainly what your heart can vouch is true 
means something is connecting you, something is connecting you 

Honest, it's alright to be a singer 
but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do 
don't you love a singer 
don't you love a singer
