lyrics

When's the world gonna figure me out?
All the anxiety's making me sweat
Feeling the pressure keeping me down
Just blaze me stupid and put me to bed

Be a star or nothing at all
Be a star or nothing at all

What were expecting from me, to become just like everyone else?
If you only had given me the chance to be half the man know I can be.

I never wanted to be your star
I never planned to play in your big league
I never counted on winning your heart
I never shedded my guard or my boundaries

I can be as sweet as sweet
Stop sucking in my tummy and I'll listen to you talk about your day
We can be a family
Just you, and me, and Howie watching movies on a lazy Saturday

I never wanted to be your star
I never planned to play in your big league
I never counted on winning your heart
I never shedded my guard or my boundaries
