Child star, child star You've reached the end of the road They only wanted you When you were good as gold Child star, child star You've had a pretty long run Go back to the real world While you're still young Did you think this love would last Did you think this love was true It came and went so fast They loved somebody but it wasn't you Child star, child star This is where we get off Stay on and ride awhile Till the road gets rough They loved somebody but it wasn't you Child star, child star Live and learn and move on Go back to the real world While you're still young
