Artist: tina turner
Song: overnight sensation
Album: Break Every Rule
Year: 1990
Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in the backline
I'm trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess
And I had to beat the stage fright
I had to cry all night
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said, "Girl, get up and get out of this mess"
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success
And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It's so hard in the barbands
And when there's no one there who understands
And Lady Luck will pass you by and she will never say yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
You're gonna be an overnight
You're gonna be an overnight success
I used to be a sweet little rock'n'roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
I said, "What's your story? What's your payola?"
Me, I'm in the music game
Well I guess I've been a long time
Workin' in the backline
Tryin' to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
What can I tell you, I made a break I guess
And now I'm an overnight sensation
I'm an over overnight
I'm an over overnight success
