Celebrity Status
by Joe Nichols
I look around, ’round, look around and look it over
I take it up, up, take it up and take it over
Traded in who I’ve been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it, and push it until my luck is over
Never stops, stops, never stops,
Well, you better
I think it over prima donna,
You don’t wanna sever
All the works to impress,
Charming girls out of their dresses,
And smiling pretty,
Well pretty will swallow you forever
I take it up, up, take it up and take it over
Traded in who I’ve been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it, and push it until my luck is over
Never stops, stops, never stops,
Well, you better
I think it over prima donna,
You don’t wanna sever
All the works to impress,
Charming girls out of their dresses,
And smiling pretty,
Well pretty will swallow you forever
