Barry Manilow - He's a Star lyrics

It really doesn't matter if he
Suffered all he claims
You know he started somewhere and he
Found his way to fame
And feeding on the lonely crowd
He finally belongs
A power by the microphone he
Sings his troubled songs

He's a star no one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it costs, he oughta know
He said he'd do it he's a star
They're hangin' on his music as
It fills the concert hall
And he's teasin' them with moments
When you think he'll give it all
But he's holdin' back the total
'cause that's how he works the spell
Yeah, he likes to leave 'em hungry
Yeah he loves to hear 'em yell!

'Cause he's a star
No one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it costs, he oughta know
He said he'd do it he's a star

And finally, the wild applause that cleans
His soul and saves
He's left with no companions
Only enemies and slaves
He's scared again the show was slow
He felt it fall behind
Tomorrow night's already raising riot
In his mind

But he's a star no one can tell him anymore
He'll ride as far as the road can go
And what it costs, he oughta know
He said he'd do it he's a star
