  • You don't know what's happenin' you want to go home
    But there's nowhere to hide
    You walk out on stage, your first time alone
    The crowd's going wild

    And you feel so alive
    You could stand up and take this all night
    They love you, but you're in love with the spotlight
    You're the spotlight kid

    Jokers and women they hang 'round your door
    They're all part of the scene
    Just like a junkie you've got to have more
    It's a pleasure machine

    And you fly every night
    But the dressing room mirror don't lie
    They love you, but you're in love with the spotlight
    You're the spotlight kid

    Your audience died, faded away
    It's been so many years since that first matinee
    It seems like an age
    Encore one more time

    For the ghosts of the part in your mind
    They love you, but you're in love with the spotlight

    You're the spotlight kid
    You're living in a dream
    You're the spotlight kid
    You're in love with the spotlight Writer/s: RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROGER DAVID GLOVER, Roger Glover
