Don’t judge me by disarray
My life is about to change
All the bad that came before
I swear it will be no more
I made my plans
To take a stand
Just to show you who I am
And when I make it
You’ll have to take it
And wish that you had given me a hand
When I become famous
You’ll know what my name is
I’ll be glamorous
Posing for cameras
My picture’s in the magazines
I’m riding in the limousines
Look at me I’m a drama queen
(Remember my name! Fame!)
When I become famous
Money in and out of my ass
They say it never buys you class
But when I’m the one calling all the shots
I’ll be a have not a poor have not
I’ll be a star
Diamonds and cars
Everyone will know me then
And when I make it
You’ll have to take it
Tell all your friends that you knew me then
I tried to love you a million times
But you laughed and passed me by
You will regret it
And wont forget it
