I’m a Star Lyrics by Joe South

A Look Inside

0

[Verse 1]
Woo-ooh
If I make one mistake, you'll hear it on the news
Well, I'm only human and God knows I really paid my dues
Just bein' the human race
And to run this frantic pace
Requires enough amphetamine to blow a fuse
[Verse 2]
Woah, woah
My life is public property, it's not my own
There are people on my back who won't leave me alone
And the reason that I go on livin'
Is just a chance to go on givin'
And smile when there's no reason because I'm well known
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a star, a star
Burnin' up the highway, drivin' a fancy car
I'm a star
Said I'm a star, a star
And I've played every club, every roadhouse, every bar
I'm a star, woah
And if I'm ashamed or proud
It depends upon the crowd
No matter who they are
'Cause I'm a star
[Verse 3]
Well, it makes no difference where I go to hide away
You know somebody whispers, "He recorded Games People Play"
Then, they walk right up to me
Just as bold as they can be
Then, I'm on stage again, I must watch what I say
[Verse 4]
Ah, now, everybody thinks that I don't have a care
'Cause they don't know the pressure that I have to bear, ha
So, I party all night long
While I listen to everybody's song
And say they're great 'cause that's the thing they wanna hear
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a star, a star
Racin' through the gate with my suitcase and guitar
I'm a star
Said I'm a star, a star
My life depends on who my real friends are
I'm a star
Yeah, when I'm up I can play the clown
But if you catch me when I'm down
I'd gladly give up bein' what I am
For what you are
