"Child Star"

child star child star you've reached the end of the road
they only wanted you when you were good as gold

child star child star you've had a pretty long run
go back to the real world while you're still young

did you think this love would last? did you think this love was true?
it came and went so fast they loved somebody but it wasn't you

child star child star this is where we get off
stay on and ride a while till the road gets rough

they loved somebody but it wasn't you

child star child star live and learn and move on
go back to the real world while you're still young
