Woo-oo If I make one mistake, you'll hear it on the news Well, I'm only human and God knows I really paid my dues Just bein' the human race And to run this frantic pace Requires enough amphetamine to blow a fuse Whoa, whoa My life is public property, it's 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, 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 Well, 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 Ah, now, everybody thinks that I don't have a care 'Cause they don't know the pressure that I have to bear, ha So, I party all night long While I listen to everybody's song And say "They're great" 'cause that's the thing they wanna hear 'Cause I'm a star, 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
