I Want To Be A Popstar

(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo x2)

[Verse 1]
Why is it all these fakers
Seem to make the morning papers?
They're selling records by the million
Seems so easy in my opinion
Look at the Jazz star, he really needs some guts
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts

[Pre-Chorus/Hook]
He's selling records by the dozen
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
With artwork designed by his brother
And liner notes by his mother

[Chorus]
Told what to do, miming to a tape
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
Taking a limo to your own private bar
My God! I want to be a popstar!

(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo x1)

[Verse 2]
Going to get on the T.V., and go on dates with only the pretty
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
I'll sell more records in a flash that way
Makes no difference if I look like a nut
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
Shrewd product placement will guarantee I'm a star

[Pre-Chorus/Hook]
An ugly guy will write my songs
Surely there is nothing wrong
Retiring when I'm 22
With a house a car and nothing to do

[Chorus]
Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
Got no need for artistic credibility
With this attitude, I'm pretty sure to go far
My God! I want to be a popstar!

(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo - doo doo doo x1)

[Verse 3]
Maybe it's too easy
(dee dee do doo doo doo)
To move so quickly so far
(dee dee do doo doo doo)
I want to be a popstar

[Musical Solo]

[Verse 4]
Where's the middle ground?
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound
What road am I going to tread?
What the hell will I do instead?

[Pre-Chorus/Hook]
There may be no tours in Roma
Or a drug-induced designer coma
No teenage girls when show is over
I prefer my women older

[Chorus]
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car
My God! I want to be a popstar!

(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)
Want to be a popstar!
(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo - doo doo doo x1)

[Verse 3/Outro]
Maybe it's too easy
(dee dee do doo doo doo)
To move so quickly so far
(dee dee do doo doo doo)
Who wants to be a popstar?
