Star

Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)

So, you want to be a Star?  
Do you know how you are?
 So you want drive a fancy car?
 Do you know how far?
 So you want a diamond thing?
Could it be a door bell it rings?
You want more out of life?
More than it's struggles and strife?
So I said all that to say something bout this and that
 I Love you for who you are so review this fact
