If all the worlds a stage
I don’t want to act any more
I don’t want to study, recite my lines
Or play my role
I don’t want to be in the spotlight
I don’t want to perform night after night
Repeated rehearsals
I don’t want to put on a dramatic performance
I don’t want to commit to continuous action in one place
I don’t need the door with the star
Drink fancy Champaign eat caviar
Or ride in a shofered car
Sign my name in picture frames
Paparazzo’s chasing, me with blinding lights
Yelling and shouting my name
I would rather stay behind the scenes
I don’t need the fame, glory and publicity
I just want simplicity
I just want to tell my story
That’s all
Before the final curtain call
