O Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it's been a while I know it's been a while
But I've been dying trying to capture a billion smiles
People like us, we are always misunderstood
Though there's ups and downs the bad outshines the good outshines
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well Howard
Hold it close to your heart

What ever happened to Howard Hughes? Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn't good to you; you gave it all you got
And still they threw you out for being you
were in our head
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree

People say we're done for we're liabilities
But I brought property on the thin line between genius and insanity.
You wrote the books on brains and wealth and looks,
Ahead of both our times free thinkers only thrive in history books
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well Howard
Hold it close to your heart

What ever happened to Howard Hughes? Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn't good to you; you gave it all you got
And still they threw you out for being you
Even if our success was as good as dead; our worst critics were in our head
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree

Howard my dear was it films and planes that made you this way Howard
Howard my dear they spoke and we're jokes Howard
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well Howard
Hold it close to your heart

I guess life wasn't good to you; you gave it all you got
And still they threw you out for being you
Even if our success was as good as dead; our worst critics were in our head
