(i Never Wanted) To Be A Star Lyrics - Cat Stevens

I was seventeen, 

You were working for Matthew and Son, 

The Beatles met the Queen, and I wrote 

I'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah 

It was like a dream in the star machine, 

Oh, no, izitso, izitso? 

I never wanted to be a star, 

I never wanted to travel far 

I only wanted a little bit of love 

So I could put a little love in my heart 

I never wanted to be la-de-da, 

Go to parties "Avec le bourgeois" 

I only wanted to sing my song well, 

So I could ring a small bell in your heart 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was on the road, 

Sleeping between lorry lights, oh no 

Stone-drunk and cold, 

Heading into a bad night, yeah, yeah 

Just another bean in the star machine, hi ho, 

Here I go, here I go 

I never wanted to be a star 

Buy my mum a Ferrari car 

I only wanted to run my own race, 

So I could win a small place in your heart 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Nature found a way, 

It picked me up off the dark side, yeah, yeah 

Showed me another day, it made me sing 

"I think I see the light" 

Not another bean in the star machine, oh no, 

This time I won't go

I never wanted to be a star, 

I never wanted to travel far 

I only wanted a little bit of love 

So I could put a little love in my heart
