She Sings For Free - Paul Williams

She’s the girl singer

Who sings in the background

On half the hit records

You’re hearin' today

Part of the chorus

A tree in the forest

A little girl singer who’s pavin' the way

For a pretty young face

Who was blessed with a grace

And a smile that is charming and easy to sell

While she hides the mistakes

Someone else gets the breaks

But because she’s professional

She’ll never tell

'Cause she’s the girl singer

Who sings in the background

On half the hit records

They’re playin' today

Born sympathetic

And so energetic

A little girl singer who waits for her day

It’s a patience that she can afford

'Cause on Sundays she sings for the Lord

She sings for free

Freedom to worship and wait

In the light of the one she adores

She sings for free

Freedom to live in a spirit of giving

She gives more and more

She’s the girl singer

Who sings in the background

On half the hit records

They’re playing today

None recognize her

They’ll always disguise her

She sings for her supper

And wanders away

She’s a star who receives her reward

When on Sunday she sings for the Lord

She sings for free

Freedom to worship and wait

In the light of the one she adores

She sings for free

Freedom to live in a spirit of giving

She gives more and more
