Superstar Lyrics


You're the queen of your own little world, you really made a splash
You're like a plane flying high, yet not afraid to crash
Everyone wants to know what goes on in your head
Why do you choose to lie so lonely in your bed?Maybe life happened and happened too fast
Won't let anybody touch you?
(Or just waiting)
You're a victim of your own pastPlain to see there's a woman cryin' out for help
The star of so many, yet never one to herself
Money means nothing, that's so plain to see
You're a mystery to us all, you're looking for someone to set you free
(Only one though)You face the end of your youth in a tired fueling rage
You talk to people with a tongue like a newly sharpened razor blade
Yours is not a life that lets you take control
Morals and convictions meet and has taken a tollBut in the end you'll be sleeping in the bed that you made
Good or bad, rich or poor, you made it your own way
It seems so clear to me, something has to change
The person that you are, the lions that you tameMake the choice to grab the reigns or be a victim of your fate
All your life you've been running from the dreams you give away

Take it from me, I can feel your pain
I too am one, one that rules in taking the blame

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On To The Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait For The Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts.

Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five. His father also was talented jazz musician, well-known in the Chicago area.

At the age of 17 Marx created a demo to showcase his talents, which landed in the hands of Lionel Richie. Richie invited Marx to Hollywood saying, "I can't promise you anything, but you should come to L.A." Marx would eventually appear as a background singer in Richie's songs "You Are," "Running With the Night," and on his follow-up album including the smash hit "All Night Long".

Marx's first self titled album went multi-platinum, selling nearly 4 million copies. He earned his first #1 single, "Hold On To The Nights", which he told Songfacts.com was inspired by a friend who had the dilemma of having met the love of his life, at a time when both he and the girl in question were already in relationships. He also had several other top five hits including "Don’t Mean Nothing" (#3), "Should've Known Better" (#3) and "Endless Summer Nights" (#2).
He revealed in an interview on VH-1 Classic that his favorite song that he performed from his first, self-titled album was "Have Mercy."

*Repeat Offender*
Repeat Offender eventually moved into the #1 spot and gave Marx two more #1 hit singles.

*Rush Street*
Rush Street's "Hazard" (#1), which depicted a man's rejection in a fictional version of Hazard, Nebraska. He released Paid Vacation in 1994, Flesh & Bone in 1997, Days In Avalon in 2000 and My Own Best Enemy in 2004.

Richard Marx also sang with Donna Lewis, best known for her hit "I Love You Always Forever", on the track "At the Beginning" of the Anastasia soundtrack. He has sung background vocals for Madonna in her True Blue album.

He has served as a writer/producer for an extensive list of other recording artists, including Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Keith Urban, 98 Degrees, Kenny Loggins, Emerson Drive, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, *NSYNC, Olivia Newton-John, Sarah Brightman, SHeDAISY, John Farnham and Vince Gill.

Marx has been married to Cynthia Rhodes, who starred in the 1987 blockbuster Dirty Dancing and is a former lead singer for 80s pop band Animotion, since 1989. The couple has three sons: Brandon, Lucas, and Jesse. Brandon is the eldest followed by Lucas then Jesse.
