Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star Songtext

von Lisa Lisa And Cult Jam

Oh, Little Jackie
Alright

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star

She got off a Greyhound in search of fortune and fame
Hopin to find a better way and leave her troubles behind
But little did she know that life was sometimes touch and go
Some never get it, open your eyes or you'll learn to regret it

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle -- Of reality and what she's dreamin of
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
Smack dab in the middle of -- Oh, growin up

Times Square Is there where she makes it
Some people never get there
Then she met a guy -- So fine -- but he wants to buy nothin but a $5 high
Jackie say no -- Hell try to change ya -- or rearrange you
Remember what your mama done told ya, never ever take gifts from a
Stranger

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle -- Of reality and what she's dreamin of
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
Smack dab in the middle of -- Oh, growin up

I'm talkin bout
I said I'm talkin bout Jackie
Oh, wah, wah, me
Oh, yeah

All that glitters aint gold
You're only 16 years old
You never meant to be a runaway, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, ho
There's got to be a better way today, today

Talkin about Jackie
I believe ya, I believe ya
If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it
Ho... ooh... oh... ooh... yeah
Talkin about Jackie
I believe ya, I believe ya
If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle Of reality and what she's dreamin of
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
Smack dab in the middle of Oh
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it

If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it
Smack dab in the middle of growin up, ooh
