Saint Etienne
"Star"


Does it pay to be so good?
Spent my whole life doing all the things they said I should
All the time, see the people
Having all the big fun
That could've been mine
It should've been mine

Now I want to be a star

For the girl who's got it made
Live in Primrose Hill
A brighter place, drink lemonade
You and I, saw your face in magazines
Hey, I told you, I said you'd be mine
I knew you'd be mine

Now I want to be a star
Yeah, I want to be a star

Had time to think about it
Told my friends at work about it
Had enough of their moody faces
And all of those untidy places
I knew, I knew, yeah!

Doesn't pay to be so good
Spent my whole life doing all those things they said I should

Now I'm gonna be
Yeah, I'm gonna be a star

It doesn't pay to be so good
I said it doesn't pay to be so good

Yeah, I told you
You should have listened...
