Life As A Star
(for Bono)

***

Want me
Want me
I am a star
Just so you will want me

Need me
Need me
I am famous
Just so you will need me

A face in the crowd
Doesn?t stand out
A mouth that?s not loud
Isn?t devout

To gods of wealth and fortune and fame
To wants and desires and dreams and gain

Mine is the altar
And podium of glory
Yours is the pain
the pity of everyman?s story
I?m not that great
I?m not the grand
And in the end
I?m just a man
Who?s looking to be loved?

So know me
Please know me
Show me
Please show me
How to be loved by you

A lover like no other
I?ll sing you a million songs
A dreamer of another
Time without any wrongs
Writing this down
I?m not just another clown
I am a star

"Look what you?ve done to me. You've made me very famous, and I thank you!"

You want me
You want me
I am a star
Just because you want me

You need me
You need me
I am famous
Just because you need me

Shown me
you've shown me
what it takes to be loved by you...

- Bono, I don?t want my money back. Thanks for inspiring me for so long.
