Star of the Show Lyrics by Dolly Parton

0:31We sang a love song the day that we met

0:35You thought that we made the perfect duet

0:38You liked my performance so you wanted to know

0:41If I would stay on as the star of the show

0:46♪

0:49And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune

0:55And you added new lines

0:57Our duet arrangement became a trio

1:00Now you want a star, but I just think you should know

1:04I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band

1:07And I'm no back up singer and I won't be a fan

1:11And I'm nobody's co star

1:14I just play leading rolls

1:15And I don't want the part, don't want a part

1:19Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

1:23♪

1:40Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart

1:43She's changing our song 'til I'm not sure of my part

1:47She sharing the spotlight and there's not room for both

1:51Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes

1:58Life is a show and the show will go on

2:02The world is stage, loves an act we perform

2:05There's always some new act somewhere up the road

2:09And I'll always be staring in somebodies' show

2:13I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band

2:16And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan

2:20And I'm nobody's co-star

2:23I just play leading rolls

2:24And I don't want the part, don't want a part

2:28Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

2:32♪

2:37I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band

2:41And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan

2:45And I'm nobody's co-star

2:47I just play leading rolls

2:48And I don't want the part, don't want a part

2:52Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

2:57♪

3:05If I don't star in your show

3:09Well I'm still a star and I can still go

3:14♪

3:16You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show

3:19♪
