Susie Wants to Be a Star

Susie's leavin' home, she hit eighteen
She's gonna make her mark
Since she was a kid
She's had this rock and roll dream
Knew every song by heart

But that girl's gonna make me lonely
That girl's thinkin' one thing only now

Susie wants to be a star
Another Nicks or Benatar
Oh, she wants her songs to shake the night, the night
She's so into rock and roll
Got vinyl runnin' through her soul
Oh, she's gonna carve her name in lights

Well, Susie use to play in a third-rate band
I played the boy next door
Now she wants the love of ten thousand fans
She don't need me no more

But that girl's shootin' for the sun now
She's gone lookin' for that number one
Yes, she is

Susie wants to be a star
Another Nicks or Benatar
And, oh
She wants her songs to shake the night, the night
She's so into rock and roll
Got vinyl runnin' through her soul
And, oh
She's gonna carve her name in lights

She's so alive, but I'm dyin'
She's so alive, there's no denyin' now

Susie wants to be a star
Another Nicks or Benatar
And, oh
She wants her songs to shake the night
The night
She's so into rock and roll
Got vinyl runnin' through her soul
Oh, she's gonna carve her name in lights
Yes, she is

Susie wants to be a star
Another Nicks or Benatar
Well, Susie wants to be a star
Susie wants to be a star
Right you are

And she's gone
