he got a job in a record store
where he works all day
seems like he does okay
but he's so quiet all the time
when he leaves the shop
he goes straight back home
you know

and when he's there
he puts the limelight on
and he don't care
what else is going on
'cause then he's stella the star

he's got a dress in the warderobe
he puts lipstick on
and high heel shoes
like the girl in the magazine
when he leaves the house
and walks to the bar

and when he's there
he puts the limelight on
and he don't care
what else is going on
'cause then he's stella the star

he shines and shines and shines
until the pain
until the pain is gone
he shines and shines and shines
until the night
until the night is gone

he got a dress in the warderobe
he puts lipstick on
and high heel shoes
like the girl in the video
he wants to be
in the tv show
you know
