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
