She was aware of her insecurities as she
took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there
That she would be discovered someday
So she belted it, she hit the high notes
fearlessly
Oh she melted them, as she brought them to
their feet
She was a big star at Banana Joe's Bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said, "If you work hard to get where
you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight"
She was a big star
She made the local cable shows where the
camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends the groupies
were crawlin' all over the place
She signed autographs like she was Garth
Brooks in a skirt
And in the aftermath, that small time town
was hers
She was a big star at Banana Joe's Bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said, "If you work hard to get where
you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight"
She was a big star
She doesn't care anymore that her high
school girlfriends cut her down
They only thought she entertain is where
they are and where she is now
All her old neighbors swear they're certain
she slept her way to the top
She knows you don't get where your going
Unless you got something they ain't got
So she sings tonight to 20,000 plus
And the young girls scream out loud, "Man
that could be us"
She's a big star and she eats caviar
Just before she performs every night
She says, "If you work hard to get where
you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight"
She's a big star, she's a big star
