Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, Mr. James Dean
He don't belong to anything
Oh, he left before they could get him
With their ways, their wicked ways
[Verse 2]
Oh, Marylin Monroe
Where did you go?
I didn't hear all your stories
I didn't see all your glory
[Verse 3]
But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend that she's one of them?
I don't think so
[Verse 4]
And the girl from that show, yes, the one we all know
She thinks she's some kind of star
Yes, you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
[Verse 5]
Oh, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me 'cause I just don't care
What's going on today
I think there's something more, something more
[Verse 6]
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before
But I believe in myself, I think there's something more
There must be something more
I think there's something more, something more
[Verse 7]
But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend that she's one of them?
I don't think so
[Verse 8]
And the girl from that show, yes, the one we all know
She thinks she's some kind of star
Yes, you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
[Verse 9]
Oh, I don't believe in the telling of your stories
Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing
It don't catch my eye, it don't catch my eye
[Verse 10]
Oh, I don't believe in the selling of your glories
Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see
I don't believe this is how the world should be
[Verse 11]
But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend that she's one of them?
I don't think so
[Verse 12]
And the girl from that show, yes, the one we all know
She thinks she's some kind of star
Yes, you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
[Verse 13]
The footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend that she's one of them?
