If you want a word to swing you 'round
If you want a word to break you down
Lime light's the hardest one to share
Lime light's the hardest one to bear
If you can't sleep at night
If you hate the broadlight
Start looking for the trouble, light of lime
You see how easy friends arise
You see how easy money flies
Lime light might seem a pretty place
Lime light will break your pretty face
If you don't like your home
If you want to be alone
Start looking for the trouble, light of lime
On stage you're all there is to see
You tell yourself, "they look at me"
The flowers and applauds you get
And problems have not reached you yet
Have reached you yet
If you want a word to swing you 'round
If you want a word to break you down
Lime light's the hardest one to share
Lime light's the hardest one to bear
If you can't sleep at night
If you hate the broadlight
Start looking for the trouble, light of lime
Your face is in the papers now
Be nice and take, thank for dough
How easy they forget your face
Your name is soon an empty phrase
An empty phrase
You see how easy friends arise
You see how easy money flies
Lime light might seem a pretty place
Lime light will break your pretty face
Lime light
Lime light
Lime light
Light of lime
Lime light
Light of lime
Lime light
Lime light
Light, lime, lime light
Lime, lime, lime light
