Back the way it was before
   Before the door was opened
   Back the way it was berfore
   Before the ice was broken
   Back the way it used to be
   Everyone thought I was funny
   But nobody ever asked me
   If I wanted tiny little sandwiches
   Sent up to my room
  
   Back the way it was before
   I was always waiting
   Everybody thought I was okay
   But now I’m scintillating
   But the way it used to be
   Some people thought I was pretty
   But not many passes were made at me
   Back the way it was before
  
   But now my prayers are answered
   And my star is on the rise
   Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
   Everyone’s my best friend
  
   Back the way it used to be
   Money was always a tyrant
   I spent it all paying my rent
   Back the way I was before
   But now my prayers are answered
   And my star is on the rise
   Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
   Everyone’s my best friend
  
   Back the way it used to be
   Sing a song of long ago
   Back the way it used to be
