The time has come for me to say
things i should've said, oh, yesterday
some people i knew thought they had it made
forgot their friends when they hit the stage
and they didn't seem to care
oh, their eyes were blinded by the glare
well, i knew those boys when they were down and out
it looked like the world had turned 'em down
now that everybody knows their name
i guess to them it's just a game
they've got their money and their cars
oh, lord, i guess they're stars
you know sometimes it's hard to see
your friends ain't what they always seem to be
if by chance i don't get through
they won't be comin' home to you
by now i hope they realize
what's in my heart and not my eyes
what's in my heart and not my eyes
what's in my heart and not my eyes
oh, yeah, they're stars
they're only stars
