Something Greater Lyrics by Charles Strouse

Applause (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1970

[MARGO]
A scrapbook full of clippings
Of things long forgotten
There's something greater
A picture in the paper
That makes you look rotten
There's something greater
The meaningless attention
The bowing and the smirking
Of some head waiter
That lost and empty feeling
The nights that you're not working
I know there's something better
I know there's something greater
A theater full of strangers
Adoring you blindly
There's something greater, there's something greater
The friends who know you're lonely
And treat you too kindly
There's something greater, there's something greater
There's needing to be where he is
Waking up, and there he is
Being to your man what a woman should be
That's something greater, something greater
And finally that's for me
[Dance break]
[BILL]
There's needing to be where she is
Waking up, and there she is
[MARGO]
Being to your man what a woman should be
[BILL & MARGO]
That's something greater, something greater
And finally that's for me
