Lyrics

Bona Fide Superstar
Music & Lyrics by Dodd Michael Lede

I saw your movie
I listened to your song
You were singing right to me
But I didn’t sing along
When you got your Grammy
How I wished that I was there
You were so mesmerizing
With all the spotlights in your hair

But now you’re rich and such a bitch
And so much bigger than before
And I’m a jerk, I’m out of work
Can’t pick myself up off this floor
You made me promise to come with you
But you couldn’t wait that long
And it’s a joke and now I’m broke
And you’re a bona fide superstar

I read about you every day
As you continue on your way

You finally got just what you wanted
Everyone knows who you are
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re rich and famous and so shameless
Looking down on everyone
You’re a bona fide superstar
I hope you’re happy with the way life treats you
‘Cause looking back is so beneath you
But I’ll be there to catch you if you fall

I’m reading your book
About your sordid history
All your famous ex-boyfriends
But you never mention me
Now I might be affected
If I took the time to care
But I know all your secrets
And what it took to get you there
But now you’re rich and such a bitch
And so much bigger than before
And I’m a jerk, I’m out of work
Can’t pick myself up off this floor
You made me promise to come with you
But you couldn’t wait that long
And it’s a joke and now I’m broke
And you’re a bona fide superstar

I read about you every day
As you continue on your way

You finally got just what you wanted
Everyone knows who you are
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re rich and famous and so shameless
Looking down on everyone
You’re a bona fide superstar
I hope you’re happy with the way life treats you
‘Cause looking back is so beneath you
But I’ll be there to catch you if you fall

You finally got just what you wanted
Everyone knows who you are
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re rich and famous and so shameless
Looking down on everyone
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re a bona fide superstar
You’re a bona fide superstar
