Barry Manilow - She's A Star Lyrics






It really doesn't matter if she suffered all she claims
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs
A goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs

She's a star
No one can tell her anymore
She'll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she'd do it
She's a star

They're hangin' on the music as it fills the concert hall
And she's teasin' them with moments, when you think she'll give it all
But she's holdin' back the total, cause that's how she works her spell
Yeah, she likes to leave 'em hungry, yeah she loves to hear 'em yell

She's a star
No one can tell her anymore
She'll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she'd do it
She's a star

Baby you're a star

And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
She's left with no companions, only enemies and slaves
She's scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow night's already raising riot in her mind

But she's a star no one can tell her anymore
She'll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she do it
She's a star
She's a star
She's a star
She's a star

  1. D.... B....

    This song has always made me think of Bette Midler.... It fancys her.

  2. J.... _....

    A rapper needs to sample the hook

  3. F.... P....

    Sounds like it was written for Bette... Am homage, probably was too.

    F.... P....

    It was written for Bette.

  4. f.... b....

    FINALLY THE WILD APPLAUSE THAT CLEANS THE SOUL AND SAVES
    SHES LEFT WITH NO COMPANIONS, ONLY ENEMIES AND SLAVES

  5. K.... D....

    I will always love Barry

  6. M.... B....

    1975.....still sounds good 43 years later!

  7. S.... S....

    Great song funny thing is i owned this album since it came out in the70s and today is the first time i ever played this song and i really like it.

  8. C.... S....

    She's a star is a better rendition...He should have this one among others alone.  The first recording is usually the best!!

    C.... S....

    I agree

    C.... S....

    I think he recycled it because he was trying to express the feelings he has about his career. The original version was written about Bette Midler.

  9. R.... M....

    Barry recycled this one as "He's a Star" on his recent "15 Minutes" album;  the original's pretty good as well.
