To be someone must be a wonderful thing
famous footballer or rocksinger
                                          Or a big filmstar, yes I think I would like that

                               To be rich and have lots of fans
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
                                And be No. 1 - and liked by everyone

                                        Getting [bad word] up with my trendy friends
They really dig me and I dig them
                                 Fis
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished

                                 And there's no more swiming in a guitar shaped pool
                       No more reporters at my back and call
                     No more cocaine, it's only ground chalk
                       No more taxis now we'll have to walk

                    But didn't we have a nice time -
                Didn't we have a nice time
                   Oh wasn't it such a fine time

                                      I realize should have stuck to my guns
Instead [bad word] out be one of the [bad word] sons
                                    Fis
And lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot

                                      And there's no more drinking after the club shuts down
                           I'm now at my [bad word] with the rest of the clowns
                                    It's really frightening without a bodyguard
                         So I stay confined to my lonely room

                    But didn't we have a nice time -
                Didn't we have a nice time
                   Oh wasn't it such a fine time

                                       To be someone must me a wonderful thing
