Lyrics

Five Star Life

Verse 1:

It's a five star life

It's a five star life

And if you live a life that's five star

Then you're gonna survive

Bridge:

It's a five star life

And everything you do had better be five star

It'd better be five star

Chorus:

Five star movie

A five star book

And if you write a five star song

Then you're gonna get treated like a five star

With a five star life

And a five star wife

Verse 2:

Yeah I've met some five star people

And I've met some people who would never get

A five star life

Five star life

Bridge:

It's a five star life

And if you live a life that's five star

Then you've gotta survive

Verse 3:

Five star doesn't mean you got lots of money

What five star means is you live a five star life

And people who are really five star

They're gonna be ten stars
