[Verse]

Summerin' in the Catskills, baby

Singin' just for the thrill

Everyone knows all about you, don't they?

You're doin' it for the thrill

Hey hey hey hey hey heeey

Whatever's left, you'll find

You've got to give it what you got, now,

You've got to give it what you got

Baby, it's true, they'll leave nothin' for you

You've got to give it what you got, now

You've got to give it what you got

[Chorus]

Gm F

Laura, there's nothin' wrong with fame, yeeeah

Gm F

Laura, you'll never be the same

[Verse]

Didn't you know they would love you, baby

Even more now that you're gone?

Leavin' them surreptitiously

Could make a hit out of any song

Hey hey hey hey hey heeey

Whatever's left, you'll find

You've got to give it what you got, now,

You've got to give it what you got, oh oh

Stay on your own, or leave it alone

You've got to give it what you got, now

You've got to give it what you got

[Chorus]

Gm F

Laura, there's nothin' wrong with fame, yeeeah

Gm F

Laura, you'll never be the same
