Love me like I am a movie star   Love me like I am a fool   Tragic and hopeless   Softly out of focus   And you be a movie star too   Love me like I am a Saturday   Lazy and warm by the old wishing pool   Dusty old sunbeams   And a handful of pennies   You whisper your wishes all to   Love me like I am a spirit   Here in the dark I appear in your room   You'll say you love me   But I'll never hear it   That ain't what they wrote on my tomb   So love me like I am the circus   When all of the lights have gone down   Spooky and faded   With clowns drunk and jaded   Who cuss when there's no one around   You'll love me like I am a Christmas tree   Sparkling and pretty, a real fantasy   Then you'll see through me   Won't know what to do with me   Then you'll be glad when I,   Won't be too sad when I,   So glad the day I leave
