Tip your beret and hear what I say
Cause I have a scoop for you
Some guys don’t care about playing fair
A stiff can do a riff on you
It’s hurtful and strange but if you arrange
To stop seeing red you’re ahead
If there’s a scene with somebody mean
Stand up and sing, “I’m so glad I’m not you
And I don’t have to live in your head”
Chorus: You don’t have to be mean to be seen
Don’t get lost getting even
Let him know, then let go and go far
That’s how to be a star
I realized to my sad surprise
He never knew right from wrong
I sang a tune he burst my balloon
He heard me and stole my song
Surprises attack you want to get back
But I’m gonna tell you straight
Don’t ever doubt what it’s all about
Stand up and sing, “I’m so glad I’m not you
If you can’t shake your hate it’s your fate”
2nd Chorus: You don’t have to be mean to be seen
Don’t get lost getting even
Let him know, then let go and go far
You’ll be all right, leave the stiff to his spite
In the night he will know you’re a star
