Peter Frampton (born 22 April 1950 in Beckenham, Kent) is a British musician, best known today for his solo work in the mid-1970s as an "arena rocker". He originally became famous, however, as a member of The Herd and became a teen idol in Britain. He then worked with Steve Marriott (of the Small Faces) in Humble Pie, as well as on albums by Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and George Harrison. His solo debut was 1972's Wind of Change. He gained international fame in 1976 when his much-loved live album, Frampton Comes Alive! was released.

Apple Of Your Eye Lyrics

Peter Frampton

Maybe take just one more look around
When you need a friend
To go on the ground
You must fend for yourself
Till you win, win the race
Then you laugh in their face
Swear me in, I'll testify
I'll be the apple of your eye

When you count the million eyes on you
And they're waiting just for what you do
Don't believe all that you read
Caught the news
Like some bad fitting shoes
Hurts when you laugh
As you're singing in the back

You can't pretend that your fortune won't end
You can't believe that you got all you need by your side
When it comes down to your own peace of mind
Lose everything including your pride
And still survive

Maybe take just one more look around
When you need a friend
To go on the ground
You must fend for yourself
Till you win, win the race
Then you can laugh in their face
I'll testify
I'll be the apple of your eye
