Darling, if you have to cry
Just look into the camera eye
We don't want to miss it
Stay in focus, stay in frame
We'll make sure they know your name
But those people can be vicious
And it's all who you know
Just fall back onto the mat
We have people who do that
They've all signed a waiver
Such a body, such a face
You could be our saving grace
The commission, the retainer
And it's all who you know
Someday, baby, you'll break their hearts
But this is how everybody starts
For now, just play along
The singer, not the song
And we all know the television's wrong
Don't I know you?
What was that, Evangeline?
Why, whatever do you mean?
It's all taken care of
Just relax and have a drink
We're not paying you to think
And there's nothing to be scared of
'Cause it's all who you know
Someday, baby, you'll break their hearts
But this is how everybody starts
For now, just play along
The singer, not the song
And we all know the television's wrong
Don't I know you?
Don't I know you?
Darling, we need you to cry
Please don't think to question why
We're not trying to type you
We made you into what you are
A candy coated superstar
But there's a thousand others like you
And it's all who they know
Someday, baby, they'll break your heart
But this is how everybody starts
For now, just play along
The singer, not the song
And we all know the television's wrong
