Kiki Dee

Songtekst

Rock 'n' roll are the games you play
High flier see your name in lights
Temporarily social suicide
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's rough
At the top you get the cream of the crop
Image seekers they're on reel to reel
This week breaker, well next week who knows
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's rough
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's tough

[chorus]:
Star, that's what they call you
How long you've waited to get where you are
Star, that's what you wanted
This week, hot shot, a video star

Rock 'n' roll are inventing in your head
You cracked it once and you can do it again
Who knows, who cares of where you're coming from
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's rough
Just a loner out there on your own
Don't let any one get close or near
Imagine that, that you believe all you read
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's rough
Oh wo, oh don't you tell me it's tough

[chorus]

They can build you up
And they can break you down
with just the right words
I know they're heavy, but just how many more like you are trying, trying

[chorus]
