Lyrics: Michael B., di Lorenzo & Pete Smith



Verse 1

You're part of some heaven, but you're feeling like hell.

an interesting ideal for someone to sell.

You're high on your profile (but you) wanna lay low.

You're living the lifestyle right here on public show,

In control, so smile as they come and go and¡­



Chorus

Everybody loves you

for every single step you take

and everybody knows you

for every single word you say

and you know that it is true

no one knows you better than you do



Verse 2

One look in the mirror (and tell me) what do you see?

A person quite ordinary that you used to be

A little more make-up will help to erase

Enough of the memories you need to play the game,

all the same, everyday in your own way and¡­



Chorus



Bridge

Could you throw a shadow?

(There's a dark side to us all)

Would we see you cry?

(No, I've never stopped and tried)

Surrounded by good intentions

(But you're still misunderstood)

Remember who you'll leave behind¡­



Chorus
