I Don’t Wanna Be a Star Lyrics by Hudson Ford

Free Spirit

1974

I find the time to recover
Before they fight off each other
And there’s champagne to shake up
Before I take of my make up
No I don’t want idolation
But real appreciation
Cos I climb high as a steeple
When I can play to the people
I always wanted to sing
Since I was knee high
To show the world just what
Came from a working boy
It started out as a laugh, yeah
All this traveling round
Some do it for the cash
I do it for the crowd
Don’t wanna be in your set
Don’t wanna drive your car
Don’t wanna private jet
Don’t wanna be a star
What started out as a pleasurе
Has turned into a treasure
And now I’m too big to handlе
I can’t get what lights the candle
I always wanted to sing
Since I was knee high
To show the world just what
Came from a working boy
It started out as a laugh, yeah
All this traveling round
Some do it for the cash
I do it for the crowd
Don’t wanna be in your set
Don’t wanna drive your car
Don’t wanna private jet
Don’t wanna be a star
Lost in a dream
Shrouded with colours
Should I believe all the tales I’ve been told?
With so much fame you believe in no others
You become lost, lose your mind and your soul
And don’t look back
And don’t look back
There’s no more days
Where I have to suffer
Now I can have everything that I need
But still I seem to be working for someone
Telling me now’s not the time I should leave
He won’t look back
He won’t look back
[instrumental]
Now that I’m made
None of it matters
I wish I could turn back the clock all those days
And leave all this fame and this work right behind me
And try to get back on the right road again
I must get back
I must get back
I must get back
I must get back
No I don’t want idolation
But real appreciation
Cos I get high as a steeple
When I can play to the people
I always wanted to sing
Since I was knee high
To show the world just what
Came from a working boy
It started out as a laugh, yeah
All this traveling round
Some do it for the cash
I do it for the crowd
Don’t wanna be in your set
Don’t wanna drive your car
Don’t wanna private jet
Don’t wanna be a star
