Pretenders — Popstar lyrics

Lyrics

So your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And beat the charts outta me She wants to move a million units man
Probably just to prove she can
And after a couple of hits
She’ll be buying a new pair of mitts
I can see just where she’s heading
She’s as predictable as armageddon
Oh, they don’t make 'em like they used to They don’t make 'em like they used to No, they don’t make 'em like they used to
— you should have just stuck with me Your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And live in primrose hell
She’ll join the meritocracy
And get to meet all of rocks aristocracy
And be someone everyone knows
Who all the designers send all their new clothes
But when she starts to look like Kylie Minogue
She might even get her picture in Vogue
Baby they don’t make 'em like they used to They don’t make 'em like they used to No, they don’t make 'em like they used to
— you should have just stuck with me Your baby wants to be a popstar
Probably just to spite me She thinks it’s so easy to get to the top
But a girl like that, she won’t know where to stop
And when her most recent therapist
Suggests that maybe she become a buddhist
She might even consider giving up red meat
Man, you’re gonna look back to when your life was so sweet
You know, they just don’t make 'em like they used to No, they don’t make 'em like they used to, baby
They just don’t make 'em like they used to Yeah — you should have just stuck with me You should have just stuck with me, baby
