Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

She's a Star

It really doesn't matter if she suffered all she claims

You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame

And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs

A goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs

She's a star

No one can tell her anymore

She'll ride as far

As the road can go

And what it costs, she oughta know

She said she'd do it

She's a star

They're hangin' on the music as it fills the concert hall

And she's teasin' them with moments, when you think she'll give it all

But she's holdin' back the total, cause that's how she works her spell

Yeah, she likes to leave 'em hungry, yeah she loves to hear 'em yell

She's a star

No one can tell her anymore

She'll ride as far

As the road can go

And what it costs, she oughta know

She said she'd do it

She's a star

Baby you're a star

And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves

She's left with no companions, only enemies and slaves

She's scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind

Tomorrow night's already raising riot in her mind

But she's a star no one can tell her anymore

She'll ride as far

As the road can go

And what it costs, she oughta know

She said she do it

She's a star

She's a star

She's a star

She's a star
