How could I love you?
You know the words to all my serenades.
How could I love you?
And see you pressed up on my barricades.
How could you love me,
you only see my face under those pretty lights.
How could you love me,
when I need you, to pay my ticket price, and I leave you, when they dim the lights?

Front row girl, you're cute as can be,
you've got to understand that there's no you and me.
Front row girl, don't get the wrong idea,
though the band is playin' loud, your voice is all I hear.
Girl in the front row, I gotta make you understand,
I just want to be your music man,
I just want to be your music man.
I just want to be your music man.

How could I trust you,
when I've seen you,
when you're screamin',
for those other bands,
and you've seen me,
with those other fans?
I don't want no love affair, 'cuz how could I love you?

Front row girl, you're cute as can be,
you've got to understand that there's no you and me.
Front row girl, don't get the wrong idea,
though the band is playin' loud, your voice is all I hear.
Girl in the front row, I gotta make you understand,
I just want to be your music man,
I just want to be your music man.
I just want to be your music man.

Let's say we get together.
We can't work it out.
Extra friends and old guitars,
broken strings and broken hearts,
'cuz every night I'm in another town.

Front row girl, you're cute as can be,
you've got to understand that there's no you and me.
Front row girl, don't get the wrong idea,
though the band is playin' loud, your voice is all I hear.
Girl in the front row, I gotta make you understand,
I just want to be your music man.
