I don’t need you to entertain meThough I love it when you doI don’t need you to be more funThough I love it when you areI don’t need you to be moreThough I know you will be. I need you to look at me like you did Saturday nightEven through the screenAnd the milesI could…

You’ve always thought it was your charmThat disarming way you smileYour style, poise andhandsome faceThe pace of your thoughtsAnd what you thinkThat triumph in the last momentTo save the day and delight the crowdWith everything they never found.You always thought it was your way of acting.The characters you feedThe clown.
