I'm A Star Lyrics

If I make one mistake, you'll hear it on the news
Well I'm only human and God knows I've really paid my dues
Just to be in the human race
And to run this frantic pace
Requires enough amphetamine to blow a fuse

My life is public property; its 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

Cause I'm 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, whoa
And if I'm ashamed or proud
It depends upon the crowd
No matter who they are
Cause I'm a star

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

Now everybody thinks that I don't have a care
Cause they don't know the pressure I have to bear
So, I party all night long
While I'll listen to everybody's song
And say, "they're great"
Cause that's what they wanna hear

Cause I'm 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
