Everybody's saying, girlfriend, just who do you think you are?
With your young good looking chauffuer, and
Your patent leather car
Well I may come from the gutter
But I’m aiming for the stars
And just like johnny rotten, I drive 'em crazy at the bar

Maybe I should bribe a DJ, maybe I could
Get played that way
Maybe I should get a gun, you'd have a serial
Killer at number one

I’m a star (now that I'm a star)
Now is my time to rise and shine
I'm a star (now the crowd is mine)
Finish your song because the crowd is mine

Well, the in-crowd say in night clubs, I have
Done some carrying on
I'm sorry to offend you, but that's how I
Research my songs
And if my reputation suffers, well I do it for my art
And somewhere inside my microphone, I've got

A diamond studded heart

Maybe I should bribe a DJ, maybe I could
Get played that way
Cry for public sympathy, well you can keep
That stuff, 'cos it isn't me

I’m a star (now that I’m a star)
Now is my time to rise and shine
I'm a star (now the crowd is mine)
Finish your song because the crowd is mine
I’m a star (I will rise and shine)
Now is my time, to rise and shine
I'm a star (now the crowd is mine)

Because the crowd is mine, because the
Crowd is mine
Because the crowd is mine, because the
Crowd is mine
Finish your song because the crowd is mine
Because the crowd is mine
The crowd is mine

Maybe I should bribe a DJ, maybe I could
Get played that way
Maybe I should get a gun, you'll have a serial
Killer at number one

I'm a star (now that I’m a star)
Now is my time to rise and shine
I'm a star (now the crowd is mine)
Finish your song because the crowd is mine

Just 'cos I've not got everything, doesn't mean
I don't want more
You've got 'take that! And george
Michael, they're such crashing bores!

Frome liverpool to Paris, and from birmingham
To rome
Anywhere there's a spotlight baby!, it's my
Birthright and my home

You want looks?, I got 'em, meisels' already
Shot 'em
Jewels?, don't need 'em, there's hungry
People feed them
You want names?, I'll name them, scandalise
And frame them
Cos I am a star!
