Be The One

(album: Blackbird On A Lonely Wire - 2003)

Night ends another day begins she feels just like she did the day before
She finds her coat she grabs her hat she picks her stockings up from off the bathroom floor
With a plastic smile on closes the door and she's gone away
She hears all the things that they say but talk is cheap so she gives it away

She don't want to get better
No no
She just wants to have some fun
She'll do anything the boys will let her
Oh no
She just wants to be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

She finds a bar that says it's open so she takes a step inside
A man with a tall drink and a Wall Street haircut says that he can give her a ride
With a plastic smile on closes the door and she's gone away
She hears all the things that they say but talk is cheap so she gives it away

Everybody wants to be a star in somebody's dream
But you can't get there darling down upon your knees
