You gotta know
That they were fooling you all long
Spinnin' a web of lies only to make you cry
You gotta know
That they were building you up
Only to tear you down with your little pageant crown

Momma always said your name would be in lights
One day this whole damn town would throw you a parade

You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down
You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down

You gotta know
That there's a million other faces
Hanging on a battle wall making their claim to fame
You gotta know
That they're only there at the top
When you hit the bottom you're the one to take the blame

Momma always said your name would be in lights
One day this whole damn town would throw you a parade

You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down
You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down

Fame ain't what it seems
Oh, and she's got the edge
Oh, is she ever gonna get it? Oh

You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down
You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down

Get get get get it before it gets too late
Oh, you better not forget it before you let it pull you down
You gotta get get get get it before it gets too late...
