Does it pay to be so good?
Spend my whole life doing all that pays
He said I should, all the time
See the people having all the big fun
That could be mine
Should be mine
Now I want to be a star

For the girl who's got it made
Living in Primrose Hill up party place
To play Manet
You and I, saw your face in magazines and told you
I said you'd be mine, and you'd be mine
Now I want to be
Yeah I want to be a star
A star

Have time to think about it
Told my friends a lot about it
Had enough of their moody faces
Don't love those untidy places
I knew, I new, yeah

Does it pay to be so good?
Spend my whole life doing all those things
They said I should
Now I'm gonna be
Yeah I'm gonna be a star
Does it pay to be so good, to be a star
I said, does it pay to be so good, to be a star
I told you, yeah, I told you, to be a star
You should have listened, to be a star
To be a star
