Love me like I am a movie star
Love me like I am a fool
Tragic and hopeless
Softly out of focus
And you be a movie star too
Love me like I am a Saturday
Lazy and warm by the old wishing pool
Dusty old sunbeams
And a handful of pennies
You whisper your wishes all to
Love me like I am a spirit
Here in the dark I appear in your room
Youll say you love me
But Ill never hear it
That aint what they wrote on my tomb
So love me like I am the circus
When all of the lights have gone down
Spooky and faded
With clowns drunk and jaded
Who cuss when theres no one around
Youll love me like I am a Christmas tree
Sparkling and pretty, a real fantasy
Then youll see through me
Wont know what to do with me
Then youll be glad when I,
Wont be too sad when I,
So glad the day I leave
