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 barricades

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

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

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
(Whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do)
Don't you love a singer
(Whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do)

Don't you love a singer
(Whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do)
Don't you love a singer
