Lyrics
?Superstar?
I?ve been up
I?ve been down
I was lost
now I?m found
Third and long
three-two count
at the line
no timeouts
no one?s going to lift me up with that Lombardi trophy
I?ll never have the stats to be named MVP
I?ll never be on top of that medal stand
never going to run the race with a torch in my hand
but you say, ?Baby, I know what you are, Superstar . . . Superstar?
I have loved
I have lost
I have tried
paid the cost
Bases full
got the ball
kick is up
of that wall
I?ll never skate around with old Lord Stanley?s cup
No referee?s going to ever lift my arm up
I?ll never break the tape at the finish line
never going to have the lead as I turn the back nine
but you say, ?Baby, I know what you are, Superstar . . . Superstar?
