Maybe your mama gave you up boy I said Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl Maybe your mama gave you up boy It's the same old same old Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl Star people Counting your money till you 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 seem to 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 And you should go far 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 Star people Never forget your secret safe with me Just look at all 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 of that 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 talking to you 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 How much is enough Talk about your mother Talk about your father Talk about the people Who have made you what you are Talk about your teacher The bully boy who beat you Talk about the people who have paid For that new sports car Big big big big star 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 Is that why you're a star Is that what makes a star Nothing comes for nothing baby That fame and fortune's heaven sent And who gives a fuck about your problems darling When you can pay the rent How much is enough How much is enough How much is enough
