When the world starts going your way
You won't know how to react
Even in your finest moments
You are just this side of cracked
I've heard all of your excuses
But I can see it in your eyes
You're perfect in every way
Too beautiful to betray
A superstar in disguise
Just another unpaid actress
Dreaming of the Great White Way
Feel the well worn stage beneath you
Feel the real world go away
There is fortune for the lucky
And hope for everyone who tries
I feel the need to suggest
That you're the best of the best
A superstar in disguise
Please stick around for a while
'Cos I've grown fond of that smile
Please stick around for a bit
'Cos I've been counting on it
Don't you give in, don't you give up
Don't wait 'til the thrill is gone
If you ever make the big time
You could turn the whole world on
Compliments aren't legal tender
But rest assured I tell no lies
You're perfect in every way
Too beautiful to betray
A superstar in disguise
