Child star, child star
You've reached the end of the road
They only wanted you
When you were good as gold
Child star, child star
You've had a pretty long run
Go back to the real world
While you're still young
Did you think this love would last?
Did you think this love was true?
It came and went so fast
They loved somebody but it wasn't you
Child star, child star
This is where we get off
Stay on and ride awhile
Till the road gets rough
They loved somebody but it wasn't you
Child star, child star
Live and learn and move on
Go back to the real world
While you're still young
