about

B-side of Let's Get Together. Prior to that it was an unreleased early single

lyrics

Could it be that you're avoiding me
When I've been in love with you, in love with you forever?
If only you could see what I can see
You would be making plans so we could be together
But since I've come this far
I bought an electric guitar
And I take some time and I learn how to play
And the girls are gonna tear me apart

If I were a Pop Star you'd want me
You wouldn't tease and taunt me
If I were a Pop Star baby
I'm sure you'd be in love with me
If I were a Pop Star you'd kiss me
Away on tour you'd miss me
If I were a Pop Star baby I wouldn't need your love

Bought some leather trousers in a sale
Oh yes it's a vain attempt to make you think I'm sexy
Then I got some sunspaces like John Cale
And some cowboy boots that don't quite fit correctly
But since I've come this far
I bought an electric guitar
And I take some time and I learn how to play
And I'm going to the top of the charts

If I were a Pop Star you'd want me
You wouldn't tease and taunt me
If I were a Pop Star baby
I'm sure you'd be in love with me
If I were a Pop Star you'd kiss me
Away on tour you'd miss me
If I were a Pop Star baby I wouldn't need your love

But since I've come this far
I bought an electric guitar
And I take some time and I learn how to play
And the girls are gonna tear me apart

If I were a....
If I were a Pop Star you'd want me
You wouldn't tease and taunt me
If I were a Pop Star baby
I'm sure you'd be in love with me
If I were a Pop Star you'd kiss me
Away on tour you'd miss me
If I were a Pop Star baby I wouldn't need your love

If I were a Pop Star
If I were a Pop Star
If I were a Pop Star baby
I'm sure you'd be in love with me
If I were a Pop Star
If I were a Pop Star
If I were a Pop Star baby I wouldn't need your love
