The Greatest Performance of My Life-Loleatta Holloway

[00:08.61]Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
[00:26.67]I never lost control I played the part so well
[00:35.31]That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
[00:48.98]And so
[00:50.80]Though it was hard to face our friends I gave a party
[00:57.03]I know
[00:58.66]I had to show them all I've gotten over you
[01:04.85]And though
[01:06.43]I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces
[01:12.47]I had to try to make them think that it was true
[01:19.37]So I
[01:22.34]Who had me dance dance through the night just like a gypsy
[01:28.63]And I
[01:30.21]Who seldom drink drank like a fish till I was high
[01:36.69]And I
[01:38.07]Who hadn't laughed since
[01:40.23]God knows when outlaughed Pagliacci
[01:44.50]Till they
[01:45.97]Believed it more than even I
[01:52.13]Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
[02:04.70]I never lost control I played the part so well
[02:11.77]That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
[02:20.91]But love
[02:23.07]If you had been behind the curtain when it fell
[02:28.05]When all the lights were out and I was all alone
[02:36.05]You would have seen
[02:39.37]This actress crying
[02:47.91]
[04:25.68]Come on dance come on dance come on dance
[04:33.10]Come on you dance with me come on you dance with me
[04:36.97]Come on you dance with me come on you dance with me
[04:40.40]
[05:11.55]Come on you dance with me come on you dance with me
[05:15.43]Come on you dance with me come on you dance with me
[05:19.65]Come on you dance with me (Impromptu)
[05:44.04](Monologue)
[06:12.78]You would seen me you would seen me you would seen me
[06:39.04]I gave greeting I gave greeting I gave greeting
[06:45.89]
