Does it pay to be so good?

Spend my whole life doing all that pays.

He said I should, all the time.

See the people having all the big fun

That could be mine,

Should be mine.

Now I want to be a star.



For the girl who's got it made,

Living in Primrose Hill up party place,

To play Manet.

You and I, saw your face in magazines and told you,

I said you'd be mine, and you'd be mine.

Now I want to be,

Yeah I want to be a star,

A star.



Have time to think about it,

Told my friends a lot about it.

Had enough of their moody faces,

Don't love those untidy places,

I knew, I new, yeah.



Does it pay to be so good?

Spend my whole life doing all those things

They said I should.

Now I'm gonna be,

Yeah I'm gonna be a star.



Does it pay to be so good, to be a star.

I said, does it pay to be so good, to be a star.

I told you, yeah, I told you, to be a star.

You should have listened, to be a star.

To be a star.
