The Only One

Through the lights and makeup Photos that were blown up they go nuts So glamorous Blinging singing for the fans Autographs and shaking hands they fuss And it's such a rush I play the game of my freaking fame Living out show business The world as my witness And people wonder how Did I ever hone these powers of living big-ness Let me share y'all this tiny secret Don't hate on me nor the hero you envy If you do you'll be sorry, keeping you from your glory, baby I have realized in this crazy game of life If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game When the curtains close And my pockets full of flow I fly back home Far from the glow Looking in my eyes it's my true partner in crime Who they don't know Runs his own show There's so much for all God, this world ain't small Don't blame me for claiming Everything I'm gaining I'll let you ponder why It's not strife that makes me flex to freaking fly Oh it's all inside my mind Don't look at me to compete with you for dreams There's enough living glory for each man and his story, baby I have realized in this crazy game of life If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game Crowd goes wild and it's all I've worked for Don't covet the prize of a game that's not really yours The world's full of great things That you can always claim so long as you realize We each play a separate game. Don't hate on me nor the hero you envy If you do you'll be sorry, keeping you from your glory, baby I have realized in this crazy game of life If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game Don't look at me to compete with you for dreams There's enough living glory for each man and his story, baby I have realized in this crazy game of life If I'm the only one who's playing I'm the only one to win the game Baby, I'm the only one to win the Game, if I'm the only one who's playing.
