Ain't we all the stars
Playing the leading part
In our own soap opera
[Verse 1]
DSherry shampooed 'til she Ggot her own chair
ANow she's playing shrink to Devery head of hair
DA mani or a pedi or Gcolor or a cut
A8 hours a day, it's the Dsame old stuff
GThey got trouble with their ex and his next wife
ASands through the hourglass, days of our lives
[Chorus]
Ain't we Dall the stars
Ain't we Bmall the stars

This Aone life to live got a whole lotta drama
