The Only One
Through the lights and makeup
Photos that were blown up they go nuts
So glamorous
Blinging singing for the fans
Autographs and shaking hands they fuss
And it's such a rush
I play the game of my freaking fame
Living out show business
The world as my witness
And people wonder how
Did I ever hone these powers of living big-ness
Let me share y'all this tiny secret
Don't hate on me nor the hero you envy
If you do you'll be sorry, keeping you from your glory, baby
I have realized in this crazy game of life
If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game
When the curtains close
And my pockets full of flow I fly back home
Far from the glow
Looking in my eyes it's my true partner in crime
Who they don't know
Runs his own show
There's so much for all
God, this world ain't small
Don't blame me for claiming
Everything I'm gaining
I'll let you ponder why
It's not strife that makes me flex to freaking fly
Oh it's all inside my mind
Don't look at me to compete with you for dreams
There's enough living glory for each man and his story, baby
I have realized in this crazy game of life
If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game
Crowd goes wild and it's all I've worked for
Don't covet the prize of a game that's not really yours
The world's full of great things
That you can always claim so long as you realize
We each play a separate game.
Don't hate on me nor the hero you envy
If you do you'll be sorry, keeping you from your glory, baby
I have realized in this crazy game of life
If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game
Don't look at me to compete with you for dreams
There's enough living glory for each man and his story, baby
I have realized in this crazy game of life
If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game
Baby, I'm the only one to win the
game, if I'm the only one who's playing.
