Work The Room by Barry Manilow
Work The Room lyrics
Open a door
On the seventeenth floor
Secretary sends me through
Walkin� right in
With a big time grin
But I�m shakin� in my shoes
Suit One shakes my hand
But it takes him a beat to recall my name
Gotta move it along
Gotta play somethin� strong
Gotta show �em why I came
Work the room
Work the room, baby
Nobody here want�s to know you
But tomorrow they�ll be talkin� about you
Work the room
Startin� in sweet
With a rockin� beat
Show �em I can really ride
Not about fluff
Get to serious stuff
Here�s my softer side
Suit Two frowns
Is it bringin� him down?
Of does it mean he�s in the groove?
Back to the beat
Activatin� their feet
See the Pradas start to move
Work the room
They�re movin�
Oh baby
Watch them beginnin� to wonder
You can bet tomorrow
They�ll have serious hunger
Work the room
Go one step up
Or all the way back
Take the turns
Or jump the track
Rise an inch � or fall for a mile
All the time remember to smile
Stoppin� the show
But they don�t say go
Suddenly smiles all �round
Man oh man
We�re shakin� hands
Telling me they like my sound
Big Suit smilin� at me
Talkin� about sales and fame
Everybody�s talkin� to me
Makin� it like I got it
Dammit now they know my name!
Work the room
They want me
Shit, I got it!
You went in an unsung zero
You�re comin� out a musical hero
Never gonna have to work the room again!
