Center of Attention
Oh, look at you
Strutting your stuff peacock pretty
Glamor suits you
Let the vapor voices all catch fiddy
Round-the-way girl of every guy pinup dreams,
cyber beauty queen
gone viral
Enter the Soul Train celebrity scene
kicking sultry stream
Stepping red carpet to the stars
Oh, look at you
Looking even better than the girl
I fell in love with
an elementary school lifetime ago
Being the center of attention
became a very comfortable place for you
My shyness was the thing you said
most thrilled you when we first meet
It was the seed that made your no-confidence grow,
my tender timid affection
made you want to reach over the glittering rainbow
It brought you out of your shell,
made you begin to excel
It made your beautiful dove wings
lift you above the crowd
When you went fab cosmopolitan,
it made me feel so proud
You remembered how I said to you,
you were gonna be a star one day
long ago
Oh, look at you ...
my famous beautiful
From afar,
I’m still in love with you
But, this you already know
