Crowd Pleaser

You’re a crowd pleaser
You’re a born teaser
You come by it honestly
It’s not who you want to be
You’ve been acting restlessly
But we all do agree
You represent our dreams
You pull it off easily
Brush through the door breezily
You’re every academic’s envy
Larger than life it seems
Designed for the big screen
And did I mention
You represent our dreams?
But sometimes you get it all wrong
Sometimes I see you wandering home all alone
Sometimes I wish I never wrote this song
And never put you on a pedestal at all…
You’re a crowd pleaser
You’re a born teaser
You come by it honestly
It’s not who you want to be
You’ve been acting restlessly
But we all do agree
You represent our dreams
You’re on the front page
You’re in the Golden Age
You’re at every award show
You are the first prize
The twinkle is in your eyes
And an unexplainable glow
Sometimes you disappear for a while
Sometimes we forget about your smile
Sometimes life can be dismal
And we don’t want a clown
Hanging around
Reminding us how things used to be—
You’re a crowd pleaser
You’re a born teaser
You come by it honestly
It’s not who you want to be
You’ve been acting restlessly
But we all do agree
You represent our dreams
