lyrics

Hey! What’s your name? I’m new in town
I heard this is the spot where I can gain renown
But every avenue becomes a cul de sac
On these streets I need someone who’s got my back

Baby I’ve been flying solo
Baby I’ve been flying so low
Baby I’ve been flying so low for so long

Hey! What’s it take to catch someone’s eye?
Do you have a trick on which I can rely?
I got a beat in my head that I can’t shake
And if I can’t share it soon I think I’m gonna break

Baby I’ve been flying solo
baby I’ve been flying so low
Baby I can’t take it no mo’
I want my piece of the sky

All I need to get on stage
Is three or four friends to lend a hand
Bass keep me in line, drums get me there on time
All I really need is a band

Someone who can play piano would be key
Come one set me on fire like Jerry Lee

All I need to sell this song
Is eight or nine friends to lend a hand
Spice it up with dueling axes, trumpets, trombones and saxes
All I really need is a band

I don’t need your love, I don’t need your money
But I need you to clap when you come to the show
If you believe in magic, then show it honey
And we’ll have a laugh when this is playing on the radio

All I need to make it big
Is two dozen friends to lend a hand
The choir keeps me on pitch, the strings are gonna make me rich
All I really need is a band
All I really need is a band
All I really need is a band
