Super Trouper
Christine Baranski Lyrics

I was sick and tired of everything
I was exhausted and fed up with my life

When I called you last night from Glasgow
I reached out to you when I was feeling low and alone in Glasgow

All I do is eat and sleep and sing
My life revolves around eating, sleeping and performing

Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the last show)
I wish I didn't have to perform anymore and each show would be my last

So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (glad to hear you're coming)
I was happy to hear that you were coming to watch me perform

Suddenly I feel all right
Upon hearing your comforting words, I started to feel better

(And suddenly it's gonna be)
(And all of a sudden, things are going to be)

And it's gonna be so different
My life is going to change significantly

When I'm on the stage tonight
When I'm performing on stage tonight

Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
The bright spotlights of the show will highlight me on stage tonight

Shining like the sun (super-per trouper-per)
I'll be shining bright like the sun under the spotlight

Smiling, having fun (super-per trouper-per)
I'll put on a happy and enjoyable show

Feeling like a number one
I'll feel like the very best

Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
The bright lights will temporarily blind me

But I won't feel blue (super-per trouper-per)
I shall not feel sad despite everything

Like I always do (super-per trouper-per)
As I usually feel sad and alone during performances

'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
I'll hold on to the thought that you are in the audience, amidst all the people there

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
Performing in front of a huge audience composed of your friends

How can anyone be so lonely?
Despite being surrounded by thousands of people, one can still feel lonely

Part of a success that never ends
Being a part of an ongoing and never-ending successful story

Still I'm thinking about you only (still I'm thinking about you only)
Despite all this, I'm still thinking only about you

There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (think I'm going crazy)
Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing my mind

But it's gonna be alright
But I'll be fine in the end

(You'll soon be changing everything)
(You'll change everything soon)

Everything will be so different
Things will be starkly different from how they are now

When I'm on the stage tonight
When I perform tonight

So I'll be there when you arrive
I'll be waiting for you when you get here

The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
Seeing you will remind me that I'm still breathing

And when you take me in your arms
When you hug me

And hold me tight
Holding me tightly

I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
It'll be an emotional moment for me tonight
