I'm no norma desmond though i live for the applause

I know fame is a symptom of a far greater cause

Oh rock n roll is tragedy 'cause all the gals get old

You weep into the mirror 'cause the record never sold



If you loved me i'd be number one

Yeah, if you loved me i'd never come undone

Yeah, if you loved me i'd be madonna rich

Yeah, if you loved me i'd be one lucky bitch



If you loved me, you really love me yeah



I don't really care about the frailty of fame

I laugh at my reflection even when i play the game

Oh rock n roll illusion temporary master plan

You scrutinize the picture but do you ever see the man



But if you loved me i'd be number one

Yeah, if you loved me i'd never ever come undone

Yeah, if you loved me i'd be madonna rich

Yeah, if you loved me i'd be one lucky bitch



If you loved me, you really love me yeah



He's too damaged you're too needy

Turn your back and call his bluff

... love and greedy

Lonliness is not enough

Not enough

Not enough

But i need that stuff, yeah!



But if you loved me i'd be number one

If you loved me i'd be elvis when he was young

Yeah, if you loved me i'd dance like fred astaire

Yeah, if you loved me i wouldn't even care

About the lawyers and the taxman and the boys from my past

Are the rumours really true? well, i thought you'd never ask!

Are you taking me to bed?, are we dancing in the rain?

If i really feel your hurt i won't ever call again
