There's a lot of good acts around, plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
Whenever you come on I light up, everything you do goes down well
I can tell, after you it's all downhill

Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow, you make it difficult, it's difficult
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow

Watch a lot of foreign movies, see a lot of late night TV
Looking for a girl to distract me from what you are
You try to lose my concentration, acting out of sheer frustration
I go out at night, but after you it doesn't feel right

Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow, you make it difficult, so difficult
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow

There's a lot of good acts around, plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
And I'm not looking for an actress, no, no, no, no Saki hostess
All I want is you and you and you and you and you
Encore, encore, encore, encore

Proving you're a hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult to even think of taking in another play
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Lie like Ophelia, proving you're a mean scene stealer

Proving you're a hard act to follow, hard act to follow
Difficult, it's difficult yeah
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Yeah, yeah, hard act to follow
