High flying, adored, so young, the instant queen,
 A rich beautiful thing of all the talents, a cross between
 A fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
 You were just a back street girl
 Hustling and fighting
 Scratching and biting
 High flying, adored, did you believe in your wildest moments
 All this would be yours, that you'd become the lady of them all?
 Were there stars in your eyes when you crawled in at night
 From the bars, from the sidewalks
 From the gutter theatrical?
 Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall
 High flying, adored, what happens now, where do you go from here?
 For someone on top of the world, the view is not exactly clear
 A shame you did it all at twenty-six
 There are no mysteries now
 Nothing can thrill you
 No-one fulfill you
 High flying, adored, I hope you come to terms with boredom
 So famous, so easily, so soon, is not the wisest thing to be
 You won't care if they love you, it's been done before
 You'll despair if they hate you
 You'll be drained of all energy
 All the young who've made it would agree

 High flying, adored, that's good to hear, but unimportant
 My story's quite usual, local girl makes good, weds famous man
 I was slap in the right place at the perfect time
 Filled a gap--I was lucky
 But one thing I'll say for me
 No-one else can fill it like I can
