I wanna be a pop star baby
Just for a day
Just to see how much those miserable fucks would pay
To see me wear dumb shirts and sing like shit
Pop champagne on their dime and live it up a bit
I wanna stay up late and get my kicks for free
And when I walk into a room
I want all eyes on me
I wanna sing I wanna sing I wanna make em pay
I wanna see young girls with tattoos of my name
So mama take me down
Down to the LA Forum
Or Knebworth or the garden
or baby the Chicago ballroom
I never wanna wake up in the same old place
I never wanna grow up and I never wanna change
I want nothing but stares when I’m walking down the street
I wanna seem like a god to everyone I meet
I never wanna grow up and I never wanna change
I never wanna wake up in the same old place
I wanna be a pop star baby
Just for a day
Just to see how much those miserable fucks would pay
To see me wear dumb shirts and sing like shit
Pop champagne on their dime and live it up a bit
