If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
And if I woo the crowd
And their screams are loud
Is it really me that they love
What does it profit
What does it profit me
(chorus)
If I gain the whole world
And lose my own soul
What would be said of me
Oh my vanity, vanity's
Chasin' the wind
And I'm feelin' empty again, yeah
I'm feelin' empty again
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
And if I woo the crowd
And their screams are loud
Is it really me that they love
What does it profit
What does it profit me
(repeat chorus)
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
