I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
to crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
if only fame had its own key baby could i bear
being away from you i found a way to get you here
i live for the applause applause applause
i live for the applause-plause
live for the applause-plause
live for the way you cheer and scream for me
the applause applause applause
give me the thing that i love (I'll turn the lights on)
put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
give me the thing that i love, love (I'll turn the lights on)
put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
A-p-p-l-a-u-s-e

put you hands up make 'em touch, touch
(a-p-p-l-a-u-s-e)
A-p-p-l-a-u-s-e
(make it real loud)
put you hands up make 'em touch, touch
(a-p-p-l-a-u-s-e)
i've be over heard your theory nostalgia's for geeks
i guess sir if you say so some of us just like to read
one second I'm a star then suddenly the star is me
pop culture was an art now arts a pop culture in me
i live for the applause applause applause
