Lyrics
So you want to be a star?
And your life will be fabulous.
Diamonds and fast cars
In a world of daily bliss.
Everyone is your friend
When you're on top of the charts
The pressure's on, shake your thing
Smile and act like a tart.
chorus
Fame - won't bring you too far
It's a GAME - don't forget you are a star
FAME - don't get caught up, stay the same
Hey, can you lose 20 pounds?
We'll fix your voice with studio sounds
Yeh, you'll sell more records,
Being something you're not
But hey you'll sell cause you'll look really hot
chorus
Fame - won't bring you too far
It's a GAME - don't forget you are a star
FAME - don't get caught up, stay the same
break (people chatting)
Whatever happened to that singer
that sang about the duck?
She's not famous anymore? Is she?
bridge
Remember you were born a star
Your life shines wherever you are
Live with passion, Dream with desire
Like a star you hold your own fire.
