Reality Killed the Video Star

You won't get over me, it's impossible to do

I'll be on the TV again and on the radio soon

My face will be 30 foot high on the back of that bus

And on my poster they'll spray "knob head" at the back of Toys 'R' Us

Inside it hurts 'cause you know it's true

Only a fool wouldn't fall in love with you

And I wrote this song not to mess with your head

But to get you out of mine

'Cause I remember what you says in that hotel room

And babe I took these songs and started singing them to people

Some folks hate them and others think I'm evil

But some of them quite like me, they've taken me to heart

Radio and television is keeping us apart

Reality killed the video star

'Cause you're getting married and I'm not involved

Wherever you are

With whoever he is

You'll be in my heart

Spend this life in bliss

Remember when I came 'round and I ruined your mother's carpet?

'Cause I was always dancing and she didn't have the heart to stop it

'Cause she could see you smiling at the boy who came to play

And if that doesn't break your heart then there's nothing I can say

I'm sorry baby if I've taken this too far

Look at the tears falling down my guitar

I apologize to him but you know I've always been

A selfish bastard

My mother always loved you 'cause she could see what I saw

She always wanted you to be her daughter-in-law

I'm sorry
