Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl

Star people
Counting your money until your soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
It's just there seems so many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between

You and me
(You're a star)
I'm talking to you, yeah
And you should go far (You're a star)

I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
Say, how much is enough?

Star people
Never forget you're secret's safe with me
Just look at all the wonderful people
Trying to forget they had to pay for what you see
It's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
But listen, brother, where would you be
Without all this attention?

You'd die, I'd die, we'd die
Wouldn't we? Well, wouldn't we?
(You're a star)
I'm talking to you, yeah
I'm talking to you
(You're a star) Yeah

I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
How much is enough

You only wanted them to love you
You may have been living in a dream
And as the demons tower above you
You bite your tongue when you really wanna scream

(Maybe mama)
(Maybe) Say, how much is enough?
Look at me (Maybe mama)
(Maybe) Say, how much is enough?
Hey, I said
Talk about your mother, talk about your father
(Maybe mama)
Talk about the people who have made you what you are (Maybe)
Talk about your teacher, the bully boy who beat you
(Maybe mama)
Talk about the people who have paid for that new sports car
(Maybe)

(Maybe your mama gave you up, boy)
You're a big, big, big, big star
(Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl)
Look at you
Say, how much is enough? How much is enough?
(Maybe your mama gave you up, boy)
Did you get off on a bad foot, baby?
Do you have a little tale to tell?
Did you get off on a bad foot?
Bad, bad foot?
Is that why you're a star?
(Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl)
Is that what makes a star?
Say, how much is enough?
How much is enough?
Did you get off on a bad foot, baby?
Do you have a little tale to tell?
Say, how much is enough?
How much is enough?
Did you get off on a bad foot, baby?
Do you have a little tale to tell?
Say, how much is enough?
How much is enough?
Babe
Now, nothing comes from nothing, baby
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
(Say, how much is enough? How much is enough?)
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
'Cause you can pay the rent?
Say, how much is enough?
