I Saw the Truth Undressing
I saw the truth undressing
In the backstage room tonight
I saw her pale breasts hanging
In the mirror ringed with lights
And I tried to look away
But I was frozen in place
And I thought I caught her gaze
But I could not read her face
(Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo doo doo-doo-ooh)
Anyway she just ignored me
The simpler thing to do (doo doo doo, doo doo doo)
Backstage we're not performing
At least we're not s'posed to (doo doo doo, doo doo doo-ooh)
I watch her from the wings (from the wings)
She's pleasing to the eye (pleasing to the eye)
And whеn she does her thing
Thе audience goes wild
(Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo doo doo-doo-ooh)
I saw the naked woman
That’s underneath her clothes (doo doo doo, doo doo doo)
I feel I know her secret
But just what do I know? (doo doo doo, doo doo doo-ooh)
And when it’s time for me to play
My costume all arranged (costume all arranged)
There's nothing underneath it
And nothing feels so strange
So strange
