Lyrics
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you’re coming (glad to hear you’re coming)
Suddenly I feel all right (and suddenly it’s gonna be)
And it’s gonna be so different when I’m on the stage tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won’t feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
Facing twenty-thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I’m thinking about you only (still I’m thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I’m going crazy (think I’m going crazy)
But it’s gonna be alright (you’ll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different when I’m on the stage tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me (super trouper)
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won’t feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
So I’ll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I’m still alive
And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight
I know it’s gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me (super trouper)
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won’t feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won’t feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
