Hey baby
Every man has the same come on: "I'll make
you a star
I'll take you a million miles from all this
Put you on a pedestal"
Come on
Have you ever heard those opening lines?
"You should leave this small town way behind
I'll be your partner, show you the steps
With me behind, you're tasting of the sweet
wine of success"
Cause I'll take you to the top, baby
I'll take you to the top
Step on the ladder, toe in the pool
"You're such a natural, you don't need no
acting school
Don't need no casting couch or be a star in
bed
But never, never, never let success go to
your pretty head"
Cause I'll take you to the top, baby
I swear we'll never going to stop
"Don't let the world pass you by"
"You better take your chance now, baby
Or be sorry for the rest of your sweet loving
life, baby"
Oh, sugar
Hey sugar, I'll take you to the top
I'll take you to the top (sugar)
