Child Star Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Child star, child star 

You've reached the end of the road 

They only wanted you 

When you were good as gold 

Child star, child star 

You've had a pretty long run 

Go back to the real world 

While you're still young 

Did you think this love would last 

Did you think this love was true 

It came and went so fast 

They loved somebody but it wasn't you 

Child star, child star 

This is where we get off 

Stay on and ride awhile 

Till the road gets rough 

They loved somebody but it wasn't you
