Everybody Just Wants A Chance To Love

Keep your fancy clothes
And your expensive cars
Keep your red carpet treatment
For those you proclaim stars

Keep your magazine covers
And your computer colored suns
You can keep your millions feigning
I only need one

You can keep your glitter
Keep your gossip page
Keep your newest sensation
And your latest rage

Keep your dancing Santas
And Christmas toys ‘fore Halloween
Keep your anachronisms
And your anti-ageing creams

Keep your gigantic cars
With their washing machines
Keep your product placements
Peddled as movies on multiplex screens

Keep the smiling faces
Telling us who we should be
Soon sexy will be the one
Who’s never been seen on tv

You can keep your store bought eyes
And your plastic body parts
Keep all other nipping and tucking
I’m only searching for a heart

Everybody just wants a chance to love
