I was so blind How well you know me You’ve seen me cry I’m just a shadow In a rock and roll sky I wanna be like I was before But this time I’m gonna know the score I need a home I can leave behind knowing you’re there Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare How well you know me You’ve seen me cry I’m just a shadow In a rock and roll sky
