Livin’ in the Limelight Lyrics by Peter Cetera

Peter Cetera

0

Everybody wants to be a star
Living in the limelight
A big house and a fancy car
Living in the limelight

Everybody gonna know your name
Surely pleased to meet you
Ask you for your autograph
See your latest feature

In the middle of a midnight dream
Living in the limelight
See yourself on the silver screen
Living in the limelight

How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm
Never make 'em happy
How you gonna keep 'em close to home
Everybody's leavin', headin' for Hollywood

Everybody has a fantasy
Living in the limelight
A personality
Living in the limelight

Hypnotizin' the roar of the crowd
Never heard of stagefright
First one back for the curtain call
Fall in love with the spotlight

On the cover of a magazine
Living in the limelight
In your limousine
Living in the limelight

How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm
Never make 'em happy
How you gonna keep 'em close to home
Everybody's leavin', headin' for Hollywood

Everybody wants to be a star
Living in the limelight
A big house and a fancy car
Living in the limelight

Everybody gonna know your name
Living in the limelight
Say, gonna be pleased to meet you
Living in the limelight

Living in the lime
Living in the limelight
Living in the limelight
They go to Hollywood, be a star
Living in the limelight
