Lyrics:

I stepped onto the stage, guitar in hand,
Shy smile on my face, under the spotlight band.
Thousands of eyes, staring right back at me,
Only to find out, my memory's on a spree.

(Chorus)

Oh, damn, now I've forgotten the lyrics,
Hear the crowd's collective hysterics.
How embarrassing is that, I ask you dear friend,
I forgot the lyrics, oh this never ends.

(Verse 2)

Strumming the chords, playing the right tune,
But my words have taken off, flown to the moon.
Nodding my head, pretending it's alright,
But the words are still missing, out of sight, out of sight.

(Chorus)

Oh, damn, here we go again, the lyrics,
Lost somewhere between the pyramids.
How embarrassing is that, up on this high stage,
My mind's blank paper, can't seem to engage.

(Bridge)

This happens to me all the time, it's no news,
It's not stage fright, or even the blues.
I’m playing hide and seek with the words in my mind,
A more elusive crowd, you'll not find.

(Chorus)

Damn, now I’ve forgotten the lyrics,
The crowd's laughter, the only music.
It's so embarrassing, on stage or any place,
But I'll laugh along, wear the fool's face.

(Outro)

I might forget the words, but not the melody,
My voice may shake, yet it's in harmony.
I'm the shy singer who can't remember her song,
But I'll keep playing, keep strumming along.
