So You Wanna Be A Star

James Mtume, Reggie Lucas, Basil Fearsington

[Verse 1]
Took so long to make it
Now you're on the top, and you just can't stop
The best of places you stay
In a chauffeured car, sippin' a Mercier [?]
But now you're the top of the town
Got your name in lights, the whole world's dancing
But do you ever wonder, child
What you're gonna do, when the dance is through?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dance, I think I wanna dance
Feel the need to dance
I think I wanna dance
Keep on, you're on the right track
Groovin', don't look back
Everybody loves a winner
No matter who they are

[Chorus]
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey

[Verse 2]
You're always makin' a scene
That movie star is your ex-lady
Livin' your life in a dream
Your entourage sure looks shady
A life of pleasure you seek
Got you hangin' out with all the freaks
But do you ever wonder, child
Where you're gonna go, when your mind is low?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dance, I think I wanna dance
Feel the need to dance
I think I wanna... (dance)
The music is your life
Sing your songs all around the world (all around the world)
Everybody loves a winner
No matter who they are

[Chorus]
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey
So you wanna be a star? Hey, he-he-he-hey

[Bridge]
So you want to be a star?
So you want to be a star?

[Outro]
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Just can't stop
Just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top, just can't stop
Makin' it to the top...
