Original lyrics
ENI am the loneliest soul you'll never meet
You'll crash and burn if you come near me
Prettiest thing you've ever seen
You'll make a wish on the starry night before you sleep
The common thread in every religion there has ever been
Ooh, far from happiness
Ooh, I wasn't born for it
I was not born to love
I was born to be a star
Light years from where you are
You'll never get so close to God
I'll burn as long as I can stand
But I will never be your man
I'll shine on you while you dance
With somebody who can hold your hand
And I'll just watch, 'cause I'm a star
I made a wish on a meteor shower
I asked for love, I asked for power
I got everything I've ever dreamed
Alone in hotel rooms I'll turn 21
Dark side of the Moon, missing my mom
Called her crying, this isn't what I want
I was not born to love
I was born to be a star
Light years from where you are
You'll never get so close to God
I'll burn as long as I can stand
But I will never be your man
I'll shine on you while you dance
With somebody who can hold your hand
And I'll just watch, 'cause I'm a star
Now that I'm at the top, I'm barely breathing
I gave up a lot, I got my reasons
And now my cup is full, don't wanna drink it
Swear this wasn't lonely when I dreamed it
I was not born to love
I was born to be a star
Light years from where you are
You'll never get so close to God
I'll burn as long as I can stand
But I will never be your man
I'll shine on you while you dance
With somebody who can hold your hand
And I'll just watch and I'll just watch
'Cause I'm a star
