George Michael - Star People Lyrics

"On a slightly lighter note
Something from the very same album
This one hopefully will get you all, uh
Get you all going
It's called 'Star People'"

"One, two, three, four"

"Come on, let's see your hands
Come on
Give us a bit of vibe here"

Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
I said, maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl

One, two, three, yeah

Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl

Star people
Counting your money until you soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
It's just there seem so many of you
Can't help but hope
There's a difference between (ah-ah-ah) you and me

(Ah-ah-ah, ah, you're a star)
Ooh, I'm talkin' to ya, yeah
Ah-ah-ah and you should go far

I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
How much is enough?

Star people
Never forget your secret's safe with me
Just look at all wonderful people
Trying to forget they had to pay for what you see

It's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle (middle)
But listen, brother, where would you be
Without all of this attention?
You'd die
I'd die
We'd die, wouldn't we?
(Well, wouldn't we?)

(Ah-ah-ah, ah) you're a star
Ooh, I'm talkin' to you, yeah
Talkin' to you
You're a star

I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
How much is enough?

You only wanted them to love you
You may have been living in a dream
And there's a demon's tower above you
You bite your tongue when you really wanna scream

(Baby, mama)
(Maybe)
Look at me
(Baby, daddy)
(Maybe)
How much is enough?

(Hey!) talk about your mother
Talk about your father
Talk about the people
Who have made you what you are
Talk about your teacher
The bully boy who beat you
Talk about the people who have paid
For their new sports car

(Maybe your mama gave you up, boy)
You're a big, big, big thing
Star (maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl)
Say, how much is enough? (hey, hey, yeah)

Did you get up on a bad foot, baby?
Do you have a little tale to tell?
Did you get up on a bad foot
Bad, bad foot?
Is that why you're a star?
(Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl)
Is that what makes a star?
Hey, hey (how much is enough?)
How much is enough?

(Did you get up on a bad foot, baby?)
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
Yeah (how much is enough?)
How much is enough?
(Did you get up on a bad foot, baby?)
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
(How much is enough?)
Please

So nothing comes for nothing, baby
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
(How much is enough?)
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling
(Do you have a little tale to tell?)
'Cause you can pay the rent
(How much is enough?)
How, how much is enough?

(Maybe your mama gave you up, boy)
Yeah, say how much is enough?
(Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl)
Say, how much is enough?

"Thank you!"
