If you choose to be famous
If you choose to be rich
Everyone would be jealous
But your life would be as empty as a ditch.
No privacy at all,
Paparazzi driving you nuts
People following you like dogs chasing a bone
Hundreds of calls come ringing to your phone.
You need to smile and be all fresh
People will want to know about your dress
No life of your own, cameras all around
No more peace or freedom to be found.
Lipstick, ear-rings, make-up too
Plenty of dresses, oh what to do?
If you don't do it all and don't look all nice
For the media of course it would be some spice.
