(+) Big Star
She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage.
She was convinced if she got up there
that she'd be discovered some day.
So she belted it, she hit the high notes fearlessly.
Oh she melted them as she brought them to their feet.
She was a big star at Banana Joe's bar
where she sang karaoke every night.
She said if you work hard to get
where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight.
She was a big star.
She made the local cable shows
where the camera fell in love with her face.
After a couple of weekends the groupies
were crawling all over the place.
She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt.
And in the aftermath that small time town was hers.
She was a big star at Banana Joe's bar
where she sang karaoke every night.
She said if you work hard to get
where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight.
She was a big star.
She doesn't care anymore
that her highschool girlfriends cut her down.
The only thought she entertains is where
they are and where she is now.
Her old neighbours swear they're certain
she slept her way to the top.
She knows you don't get where you're goin' unless
you've got something they ain't got.
So she sings tonight to twenty thousand plus
and the young girls scream out loud man that could be us
She's a big star and she eats caviar
just before she performs everynight.
she says if you work hard to get
where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight
she's a big star.
she's a big star.
