DOLLY PARTON - Star Of The Show lyrics

rate me

We sang a love song the day that we met

You thought that we made the perfect duet

You liked my performance so you wanted to know

If I would stay on as the star of the show

And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune

And you added new lines

Our duet arrangement became a trio

Now you want a star, but I just think you should know

I don’t play second fiddle in nobody’s band

And I'm no back-up singer and I won’t be a fan

And I'm nobody’s co-star

I just play leading rolls

And I don’t want the part, don’t want a part

Won’t play a part unless it’s star of the show

Oh, she’s stealing the show that’s been so dear to my heart

She’s changing our song 'til I’m not sure of my part

She sharing the spotlight and there’s not room for both

Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes

Life is a show and the show will go on

The world is stage, loves an act we perform

There’s always some new act somewhere up the road

And I’ll always be staring in somebodies' show

I don’t play second fiddle in nobody’s band

And I'm no back-up singer and I won’t be a fan

And I'm nobody’s co-star

I just play leading rolls

And I don’t want the part, don’t want a part

Won’t play a part unless it’s star of the show

I don’t play second fiddle in nobody’s band

And I'm no back-up singer and I won’t be a fan

And I'm nobody’s co-star

I just play leading rolls

And I don’t want the part, don’t want a part

Won’t play a part unless it’s star of the show

If I don’t star in your show

Well I’m still a star and I can still go

You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show
