Little Jackie Wants To Be A Star

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 was sometimes touch and go
Some never get it, open your eyes or you'll learn 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, 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 5 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, growin' up

I said, I'm talkin' 'bout Jackie
All that glitters ain't gold

You never meant to be a runaway
Oh, no, no, no, ho
There's got to be a better way today, today

Ho, ooh, oh, ooh, yeah
