You wonder should you just stop tryin'. Well take a message from the man. Who's not afraid to come on strong. When there's magic in the music. It's the singer not the song. When it's comin' from the heart. All the people sing along. It's the man behind the music. It's the singer not the song. Inside you heart is achin'. There's challenge for the taking. So shoot it from the hip. Believe in what you say. You're calling this your best fight. You're looking for the limelight. Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way. Well give the glory to the man. Who's not afraid to come on strong. When there's magic in the music. It's the singer not the song. When it's comin' from the heart. All the people sing along. It's the man behind the music. It's the singer not the song
