"Star (The Jackie Mix)" lyrics
Oh, little Jackie (Little Jackie)
Alright
Oh, little Jackie, she wants to be a star
She got off a Greyhound
In search of fortune and fame
Hopin' to find a better way
And leave her troubles behind
But little did she know
That life is sometimes touch-and-go
Some never get it
Open your eyes or you'll live to regret it
Oh, little Jackie, she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, little Jackie, she wants to be a star
(Smack dab in the middle of)
Oh, of growin' up
(Times Square) Is this where she makes it?
(Some people never get there)
Then she met a guy (So fine)
But he wants to buy nothin' but a five-dollar high
Jackie, say no (He'll try to change ya)
Or rearrange ya (Or rearrange ya)
Remember what your mama done told ya
Never ever take gifts from a stranger
Oh, little Jackie, she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, little Jackie, she wants to be a star
(Smack dab in the middle of)
Oh, of growin' up
The nominations for Best New Female Entertainer are
Lisa Lisa, Eedis Chaconn, Cheryl Pepsii Riley, and Little Jackie
And the winner is Little Jackie!
Oh, God, oh, God, hahaha, really, really, I won?
Oh- oh, well, um- um-
Fir- first of all, I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength and dedication to reach my dreams
Ah, woo, okay, okay
I've dreamt of this moment since I was sixteen, I don't know if I'm okay
I'd like to thank all my fans and everyone who has supported me
Well, you know, I once ran away from home, searching for success, and-
And that's when I found out that it was the wrong thing to do
I mean, when I ran away, I was on my own
And I found out that life was, you know, just really full of ups, downs and, God, heartaches
I didn't have to run away, so when I went back home
I just sat down with my parents, and-
And we all opened up to each other, you know what I'm saying? You know?
They saw how- they saw how much I- I wanted to succeed in this business
You know what I'm saying? You know?
Well, my family's been behind me ever since
I know this is piece is long, you know I- this piece is long
But I just wanna say to all of you who are trying to reach your goals, you know
Never give up, always think positive, no matter how hard things may get
If you really want it, then you've gotta stay strong
Never give up, remember
Stay away from all the negative things in life
And you'll make it, you'll see
Oh, God, thank you all so very much
Thank you, bye
Uh, wait a minute, hold it for a second
There's been a mistake here
What do you mean? What?
I'm sorry, Little Jackie, you did not win
No, no, you can't tell me that!
No, no, I'm sorry, there's been an error here
Oh, come on now, you can't tell me that!
The winner- the real winner- no, I'm saying, listen, listen
The real winner is big! This woman is big
The real winner is Eedis Chaconn!
[*screams*] [?]
I just [?]
You're not playing with me, right? [?]
Oh, my God, God
I'd like to thank my mother and my father
And my husband, you know, I-
[?] I hope you're listening, aren't you watching?
[*screams*] I just [?]
Oh, you have a big butt there, Eedis
