I want success
But I don’t want fame
I don’t want to be
A household name
I don’t want to be
In the tabloid papers
See my private life
On all the front pages
Don’t want to be followed
By cameras and drones
Or ever have to worry
If I’m truly alone
I don’t want to set
New fashions and trends
I don’t want the world
All trying to be my friend
I don’t want to live my life
In the public eye
Or have the world be told
The minute I die
I don’t want to worry
About pleasing fans
Selling out my beliefs
To stay in demand
I don’t want to be
Another celebrity
I just want to live my life
As the person I want to be
Real and honest
Authentic and free
All I really want is
To always be me
