Barry Manilow
She’s a Star
It really doesn't matter if she suffered all she claims
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs
A goddess by the microphone, she sings her troubled songs
She's a star
No one can tell her anymore (she did it)
She'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she'd do it
She's a star (she did it)
They're hangin' on her music as it fills the concert hall
And she's teasin' them with moments, when you think she'll give it all
But she's holdin' back the total, cause that's how she works the spell
Yeah, she likes to leave 'em hungry, yeah she loves to hear 'em yell!
(Chorus)
And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
She's left with no companions - only enemies and slaves
She's scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow night's already raising riot in her mind
(Chorus)
