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
You'll say you love me
But I'll never hear it
That ain't 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 there's no one around
You'll love me like I am a Christmas tree
Sparkling and pretty, a real fantasy
Then you'll see through me
Won't know what to do with me
Then you'll be glad when I
Won't be too sad when I
So glad the day I leave
