The Show (The Voice Performance) Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

[Verse 1]
Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is gonna pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

[Chorus]
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

[Verse 2]
The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
And just enjoy the show

[Chorus]
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go, just enjoy the show

[Outro]
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Melanie covered Lenka’s song The Show during her second performance of the Top 6th. Her coach, Adam Levine, wanted Melanie to do something a little different and so the set was constructed as if it was a musical. Melanie even went as far as to pretend to be in a boat in a certain part.
