I once had a superstar
He was a frivolous man
He drove a frivolous car
And we both had a plan
We were hanging in bars, I was loosing my head
Then a young friend of ours took my place in my bed
You know I need a special friend and I got dollar bills to spend

Love and money guaranteed
I wanna use you and abuse you, you ain't got too much to lose
