The Actor
Love Beyond the Limelight
Lyrics
He takes you out and he takes you up
He takes you out and elevates your experiences
'Cause he can show you so much
He can offer you a lot and showcase the world to you
I go to bed and tomorrow again
The singer goes to bed, anticipating the challenges of the next day
There's a lot of work to be done
There's a significant amount of work that needs to be done
He gives you gold and he will promise you
He presents you with valuable things and makes grand promises
The whole world will be yours
Assuring you that the entire world can be yours
I just can't tell you I love you so
The singer struggles to express love, given the odds against him
Even though my odds are low
Acknowledging the low likelihood of his success
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Asserting that he is not an actor or a star
And I don't even have my own car
Highlighting his lack of material possessions like a car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Expressing hope that the person will stay despite his shortcomings
That you will love me anyway
Requesting love even with his limitations
The dirty games in the name of jokes
Commenting on deceitful actions in the guise of jokes
This is the world he knows
Indicating that this deceptive world is familiar to the person in focus
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
Finding satisfaction in contemplating the stars
Thinking of him makes me feel so cold
Feeling cold when thinking about the person who engages in dirty deeds
The fancy cars and the restaurants
Describing a life with luxurious cars and restaurants
You're just so fond of the man
Noting the person's fondness for materialistic things
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
Questioning if the person is oblivious to the other's flaws
Can't you see he's got dirt on his mind
Pointing out the immoral thoughts of the person in question
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Reiterating that the singer is not an actor or a star
And I don't even have my own car
Emphasizing his lack of material possessions
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Expressing hope for the person to stay despite shortcomings
That you will love me anyway (anyway)
Requesting love despite limitations
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Repeating the singer's lack of status and possessions
And I don't even have my own car
Restating the absence of a car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Reiterating hope for the person to stay
That you will love me anyway
Asking for love despite limitations
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Once again emphasizing the lack of acting or star status
And I don't even have my own car
Repeating the absence of personal possessions like a car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Expressing hope for the person to stay despite shortcomings
That you will love me anyway (anyway)
Requesting love even with limitations
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Reiterating the singer's lack of actor or star status
And I don't even have my own car
Stressing the absence of personal possessions
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Expressing hope for the person to stay despite shortcomings
That you will love me anyway
Requesting love despite limitations
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star
Emphasizing once more the lack of actor or star status
And I don't even have my own car
Reiterating the absence of personal possessions
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
Expressing hope for the person to stay despite shortcomings
