"Don't Let Them Down" lyrics

So you wanna be a movie star
Wanna see your name in lights
You say there's no such thing as
Goin' too far
And you're not afraid of heights
If you do everything
You're supposed to do
You could have it all
But if you really wanna fly that bad
You're gonna have to learn to crawl

And don't let them down
Don't let them down
They only love you
When they're getting paid
Don't let them down
'Cause word gets around
They only love you
When they're getting laid

Her mama told her
It's a big bad world
Never trust no one
But that don't matter
To this small town girl
'Cause she knows she's the one
Who's gonna turn some heads
Gonna knock 'em dead
And get her face on every magazine
But when they talk real nice
About sacrifice
I hope you know what they mean

Don't let them down
Don't let them down
They only love you
When they're getting paid
Don't make a sound
'Cause word gets around
They only love you
When they're getting laid

Hey

Don't let them down
Don't let them down
They only love you
When they're getting paid
Don't let them down
'Cause word gets around
They only love you
When they're getting laid

Don't let them down
Don't let them down

Don't make a sound
'Cause word gets around

Don't let 'em down
Don't let them down, hey yeah

Don't let them down, down, down
Down, down, down, ohh, yeah, yeah
Don't let them down, down, down
Down, down, down, yeah, ooh yeah
