Tina Turner - Overnight Sensation

Well, I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
Two-dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and the soul reviews, I had a dream I guess
Huh, yeah, yes

And I had to beat the stage fright
I had to cry all night
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said, "Girl, get up and get out of this mess"
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success, yeah

And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It's so hard in the bar bands
When there's no one there who understands
And Lady Luck will pass you by and she will never say yes

You're gonna be an overnight sensation
You're gonna be an overnight, mh
You're gonna be an overnight success, yeah

Oh, well, I used to be a sweet little rock 'n' roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
They say, "What's your story? What's your payola?"
Me, I'm in the music game, uh

Well I guess I've been a long time, mh
Working in a backline
I'm trying to make a song fit
I know it never was mine

Ay, what can I tell you
I made a break, I guess
Now I'm an overnight sensation
I'm an over, overnight, uh
Said, I'm an over, overnight success, yeah
Oh, jam on

(Over, over)
(Over, overnight)

I'm an over, overnight (over, over)
(Over, overnight)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ow, yeah, yeah, yeah (over, over)
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
(Over, over) yeah
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
(Over, over)
(Over, overnight) yeah
Over, overnight
Yeah, over, overnight (over, over)
(Over, overnight) sensation
Yeah, yeah
(Over, over) yeah
(Over, overnight)
(Over, over)
