Spotlight's on, it's shining bright    And I like standin' in it    It's only superficial light    But I don't want to end it    It's warmth and glow has taken hold    And I'm caught up in it's shine    A Cinderella fairy tale    I want to claim as mine    Fancy clothes, a magic coach    And happy ever after    Like something from a story book    The Cinderella chapter    But when the clock strikes midnight    And I lie awake in bed    Things my Daddy told me    Keep running through my head       You gotta walk the straight and narrow    And to thine own self be true    Gotta aim straight as an arrow    All eyes are up on you    But sometimes it feels so good    That I can almost justify    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie       Is it wrong for me to want    The sweeter grass that's greener?    To chase the all-American dream    I've always been a dreamer    At the top and still I've got    A heavy heart inside    I keep remembering    Things my Daddy told me as a child       You gotta walk the striaght and narrow    Gotta hold fast to the right    Gotta aim straight as an arrow    Walk onward toward the light    Oh, but when I'm out there in it    I think I might get by    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie    But I don't feel right livin' a lie    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie       All the fame and fortune    Glory and prestige    Can't make me happy if it goes    Against what I believe    And I've sacrificed my honor    My values and my pride    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie    Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie    Livin' a lie    Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, I don't feel right
