I go to bed and tomorrow again

there's a lot of work to be done

the whole world will be yours

even though my odds are low

But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Gsus G C
that you will love me anyway
The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world he knows
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
thinking of him makes me feel so cold
The fancy cars and the restaurants
you're just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
can't you see, he's got dirt on his mind

I'm not an actor…
Solo over vers
Chorus:
I’m not an actor…ad lib
