Entertainer

[Chorus:] I am the entertainer I know just where I stand Another serenader Another long haired man [Verse 1:] Today I am your champion I may have won your heart But I know the game You'll forget my name I won't be here In another year If I don't stay On the charts I am the entertainer Had to pay my price Things I didn't know at first I learned by doing twice But still they come to haunt me Still they want their say So I learn to dance With my hands in my pants Rub my neck And just write 'em a check And they'll be on their way I am the entertainer I've been all around the world I played all kinds of places Played all kinds of girls I don't remember faces I don't remember names What the hell, it's just as well Cause after a while And a thousand miles It all becomes the same I am the entertainer I come to do my show You heard my latest record Spin on the radio Well, it took me years to write it The best years of my life It's a beautiful song But it ran too long Wanna have a hit You gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05 I am the entertainer Idol of my age Make all kinds of money Boy, when I go on the stage They see me in the paper And in the magazines If I go cold My feet get sore Put me in the back Of the discount rack Like another can of beans [Chorus] [Outro:] I am the entertainer
