They told me I was gonna be A big Star They said that with a face like mine I could get what I wanted I wanted to go far I wanted everyone to know my name I started out as a model But when people learned I could read They put me in front of a different camera It was all the same to me Pose here Say a line or two there It came easily to me Women wanted me Men wanted to be me Everyone idolized me Perfect Teeth Perfect Eyes Perfect Hair Perfect Tan Perfect Body I was the total package But when you're the total package They don't tell you how lonely it is In the spotlight At first it didn't bother me I thought Who needs friends when I could have Fans It was all fun and games Until my fifteen minutes were up You can't be the young new face forever I've realized the hard way that All fame does is Chew you up Bleed you dry And Spit you out You don't get any say in the matter I still get recognized here and there By people like you of course Would you like a picture? An autograph? No? Ok, thats fine How about I start you all off with some drinks?
