Little Jackie Wants To Be A Star Lyrics By Lisa Lisa And Cult Jam

    oh
    little jackie
    little jackie
    alright

    oh
    little jackie
    she wants to be a star
    she got off a greyhound
    in search of fortune and fame

    hoping to find a better way
    and leave her troubles behind
    but little did she know
    that life was sometimes touch and go

    some never get it
    open your eyes
    or you’ll learn to regret it

    oh
    little jackie she wants to be a star
    she’s caught in the middle
    of reality and what she’s dreaming of
    oh
    little jackie she wants to be a star
    smack dab in the middle of
    oh
    growing up

    times square
    is there where she makes it
    some people never get there
    then she met a guy
    so fine
    but he wants to buy nothing but a 5 high

    jackie say no
    he’ll try to change you
    or rearrange you
    or rearrange you
    remember what your mama done told you
    never ever take gifts from a stranger

    repeat

    i’m talking bout
    i said i’m talking ’bout jackie
    oh wah wah me
    oh yeah

    all that glitters ain’t gold
    don’t let the green eyes fool you
    you’re only 6 years old
    don’t let the streets try to rule you

    you never meant to be a runaway
    oh no no
    no no no no ho
    there’s got to be a better way today
    today

    talking about jackie
    i believe you i believe you
    if you believe in yourself
    i really think you’re gonna make it

    ho ooh oh
    ooh yeah

    talking about jackie
    i believe you i believe you
    if you believe in yourself
    i really think you’re gonna make it

    repeat

    i believe you
    i believe you

    repeat

    i believe you
    i believe you

    oh
    little jackie
    she wants to be
    she wants to be a superstar
    if you believe in yourself
    i really think you’re gonna make it
    smack dab in the middle of growing up ooh

    woo woo woo
    woo woo woo
