The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
She was aware of her insecurities As she took the stage But she was convinced if she got up there That she'd be discovered some day So she belted it She hit the high notes fearlessly Oh, she melted them She brought them to their feet She was a big star At Banana Joe's Bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spotlight She was a big star She made the local cable shows Where the camera fell in love with her face After a couple of weekends The groupies were crawling all over the place And she signed autographs Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt And in the aftermath That small time town was hers She was a big star At Banana Joe's Bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spotlight She was a big star Hey, she doesn't care anymore That her high school girlfriends cut her down The only thought she entertains is where they aren't And where she is now A few old neighbors swear they are certain She slept her way to the top She knows you don't get where you're goin' Unless you got something they ain't got So she sings tonight To twenty thousand plus And the young girls scream out loud Man that could be us She's a big star She eats caviar Just before she performs every night She says if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spotlight She's a big star
