I used to dream of fame and fortune
I used to wanna be a star
It was the greatest aspiration
In my naïve stubborn heart
But with the years I have grown wiser
Learned without love there's no use
Now I'd rather be a no one
If I ain't someone to you

I used to dream of fame and fortune
I used to wanna be a star
It was the greatest aspiration
In my naïve stubborn heart
But with the years I have grown wiser
Learned without love there ain't no use
Now I'd rather be a no one
If I ain't someone to you

I have traded many memories
I've gambled with my time
Along a jealous lonesome highway
All for a vision in my mind
I've lost friends and I've burned bridges
I've gone broke from payin' dues
Now I'd rather be a no one
If I ain't someone to you

Neon lights and crowded dancehalls
Make you wanna to go too far
Made my way out of the honkytonks
Just to learn they're all bars
So if one day I finally make it
If this foolish dream comes true
Just know I'd rather be a no one
If I ain't someone to you

Neon lights and crowded dancehalls
Make you wanna to go too far
Made my way out of the honkytonks
Just to learn they're all bars
So if one day I finally make it
If this foolish dream comes true
Just know I'd rather be a no one
If I ain't someone to you
I'd be better off a no one
If I ain't someone to you
