Jon English - Superstar (You Promised Me) Lyrics

Hello-o
Ah, hi, how are you man, I'm not too bright
Look I'm sorry to disturb you at this ungodly hour of night
I thought I'd let you know that I'm a-leavin' town for good
You haven't really helped me the way you said you would, no

Now listen, you said I'd make the big time, playin' rock and roll
Well you know I've always been a fairly trusting soul
I said I like it and I want it and I need it pretty bad
So you took me to the cleaners for everything I had

And I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the way things are
You promised me you'd make me a superstar
I bought a gold lame suit and a Gibson guitar
And practised all day-ay while you sat in the bar, yes you did now

Ooh, well it ain't no fun livng life with a head full of songs
And when ever I try to sing 'em, man, you do somethin' wrong
I want to be a shinin' light for all the world to see
So Billy, Brian and Johnny will stop laughin' at me, yeah

And I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the way things are
You promised me you'd make me a superstar
I bought a gold lame suit and a Gibson guitar
And practised all day-ay while you sat in the bar, now listen

Well you're probably thinkin' I'm ungrateful, man
And if you think I'm complainin', well you're right, I am
I've got no food, no car, no money in the bank
My ship ain't coming in, it hit a rock and sank

And I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the way things are
You promised me you'd make me a superstar
I bought a gold lame suit and a Gibson guitar
And practised all day-ay while you sat in the bar, yes you did now

Yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa, I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the
