Friend / Lover moves to L.A. to chase dream of being a star. Sees the dark side of the biz. does not get famous. Singer tells actor that stardom is not needed for Greatness and Great Love

Lyrics

So you want to be a big star
L.A. isn?t really that far
You?ve packed your life don?t forget your coin jar
And If the engine lasts you'll make it in your little car

You want to tell everyone you?re gonna be
At the top gonna make it on the tv
You're Tough and talk just like Miss Stefani
And all the little girls coming from the Hills of Beverly

Chorus
You don?t have to be a big star
You don?t need a driver for a big car
You don?t need any of that for me

Verse
This town eats the fast and furious
They say it killed the cat cuz it was looking curious
You came looking for your manifest destiny
So far you?ve only met werewolves and the zombies

You thought by now you?d be front cover
You thought you?d be famous by the summer
You thought that they couldn?t pick another
But they picked the one who worked for them the best beneath their covers

Chorus
You don?t have to be a Big Star
You don?t need a driver for a big car
You don?t need any of that for me
To see you?re amazing

You don?t have to be a big star
You don?t need a gun toting outlaw
You don?t have to be a Beverly B
Just to see you?re Amazing

Bridge

This? isn?t?. just how you thought it would be
Stick around, You?ll make your mark you?ll see
Fate?s wheel whirls around eventually
Wait another day though you?re going stir crazy

Verse
They Say ?You?re never gonna get it?
Don?t forget that they win if you believe them
Please believe me , You?re a Star Baby
You?ll be listed under happy in the dictionary
