The Actor

He takes you out and he takes you up


'cause he can show you so much


I go to bed and tomorrow again


there's a lot of work to be done



He gives you gold and he'll promise you


the whole world will be yours


I just can tell you I love you so


even though my odds are low



Chorus:


I'm not an actor I'm not a star


and I don't even have my own car


But I'm hoping so much you'll stay


that you will love me anyway



The dirty games and the neonshows


this is the world he knows


Watching the stars satisfies my soul


thinking of him makes me feel so cold



The fancy cars and the restaurants


you're just so fond of the man


Sometimes I wonder if you are blind


can't you see, he's got dirt on his mind



Chorus:


I'm not an actor I'm not a star


and I don't even have my own car


But I'm hoping so much you'll stay


that you will love me anyway
