Fame makes a fool out of anyone

Fame takes you back to the golden childhood

Fame makes you think that you're having fun

Fame the game



Get on the plane and

get off into the limousine

To the early morning show

everyday routine

Make up fake up get a manicure

Five minute autographs, grab a picture, yes or no

All the same answers to the same questions

Create a scandal with your reaction

What's that you say

take it or leave it

Paparazzi wanna see you bleeding



Chorus



Late suit days, hair extensions

Botox fauxforced interventions

Nude job, boob job, all nouveau

It ain't what, but who you know

Uncalled perjury, cosmetic surgery

Dirty secrets frame your glory

It'll get the cover story



Chorus



Everybody wanna be a star

It's all about who they think you are

Pulling up in a crazy car

The front door is your garage

Everywhere en entourage

Play like you've been living large

Someone got your credit cards

Lend me your blah blah blah



Be careful

Be careful what you wish for



Since I was a child of three

I'd watch old movies on the silver screen

Kate Bette and Marilyn were the reigning queens

(do you wanna be a star?)

I know if I can make it out

Out of this sleepy town then I could go real far

I could I'd really work so hard

And I could do it and do it and do it 'til I become a star



Chorus



Miami, London, Paris in a week

Lying in private, catching up sleep

Celebrity parties, politic profits

Rock'n' roll bullyboys walk the red carpet

Getting in VIP through the velvet rope

Shake hands, photograph and you gotta go

Little black book pools with the CEO

Smile and tell'em what they wanna know

And tell'em what they wanna know



Be careful

Be careful what you wish for



Chorus



Everybody wanna be a star

It's all about who they think you are

Pulling up in a crazy car

The front door is your garage

Everywhere an entourage

Play like you've been living large

Someone got your credit cards

Lend me your blah blah blah
