Just for show

This is dedicated to my celebrity crushes

I have no words
to express my love for you
You are greater than the lords
Cuz you make the world seem new

But I can see a big queue
Of girls lot prettier than me
Craving the autographs that are due
But all I see is..

You, you and you
But all the girls see is your fame
And their love is just for show
But you are not at all blamed
Cuz they don't really care about you

All that glitters is not gold
So you have to be bold
About the choices you make
Cuz all it takes is
Just one blow and
Then you are heartbroken

Look at me, read my mind
All I have is you inside
But with sadness my head I bow
To see the dark truth below
Those mean girls with sweet smiles
Who pretend to run an extra mile
Just for you
But it's not at all true
Cuz there's someone else who loves you
With all her heart, and that's true
Cuz it's me and not those fools

Racism is not a true solution
And you have proven it
By practicing what you preach
In this bad recession
I wonder how you make me smile
But still you are hard to reach
For those mean girls blocking me
From your soft hands
Reaching out for me
That will surely set me free
From the bonds of loneliness,
Disbelief and sadness.
