Barry Manilow - He's A Star Lyrics

Oh, it really doesn't matter
If he suffered all he claims
You know he started somewhere
And he found his way to fame

And feeling all alone in crowd
He finally belongs
And powered by the microphone
He sings his troubled songs

He's a star, no one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it cost you oughta know
He said he'll do it, he's a star, oh

They're hangin' on his music
As it fills the concert hall
And he's teasin' them with moments
When you think you'll give it all

But he's holdin' back for total
'Cause that's how he works the spell
Yeah, he likes to leave them hungry
Yeah, he loves to hear them yell

'Cause he's a star, no one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it cost you oughta know
He said he'll do it, he's a star, he's a star, he's a star

And finally the wild applause
That cleans his soul and saves
He's left with no companions
Only enemies and slaves

He cares a damn, the show is slow
He felt it fall behind
Tomorrow's night is already
Rising riots in his mind

But he's a star, no one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it cost you oughta know
He said he'll do it, he said he'll do it, he's a star
