overnight sensation

Tina Turner

Well i guess i`ve been a long time
Working in the backline
Tryin` to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
Two dollar hi-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm an the soul revues
I had a dream i guess
Yes yes

And i had to beat the stagefright
I had to cry all night
Tryin` to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
I said girl, get up and get out of this mess
You`re gonna be an overnight sensation
Be an overnight success

And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It`s so hard in the bar bands
Than there`s noone there who understands
And lady luck`ll pass her by
And she`ll never say yes
You`re gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success

Well i used to be a sweet little rock`n`roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
What`s your story what`s your payola
Me i`m in the music game

Well i guess i`ve been a long time
Working in the backline
Tryin` to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
What can i tell you
I made a break i guess
Now i`m an overnight sensation
I`m an overnight
I`m an overnight success
