[Dolly Parton - Star of the Show lyrics]
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 roles
And I don't want the part
No don't want a part
No, won't play a part unless
It's star of the show
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's 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 somebody's 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 roles
And I don't want the part
No don't play a part
Don't want 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 roles
And I don't want the part
No won't play the part
Don't want 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
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 roles
And I don't want the part
No don't want a part
No, won't play a part unless
It's star of the show
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's 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 somebody's 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 roles
And I don't want the part
No don't play a part
Don't want 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 roles
And I don't want the part
No won't play the part
Don't want 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
