Ego

Take a look at me now And take a taste of the money I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy honey Step on the thin ice lightly And check out the show twice nightly Oh cause I'm, I'm on the stage tonight And if the price is right I'll, I will amaze before the light I crave the light mmm blinding white I need the light tonight Take a look at me now And take a look at my billing I'm not in it as an extra I'm in it for the killing Inflate my ego gently Tell them heaven sent me Oh 'cause I'm, I'm so expressive And I'm so obsessed With my ego, my ego And it's message oo inform the press Invite the guests I need the press tonight Do you remember acting out your youth A romeo resplendent on an orange case Do you remember how I would recite And how I'd blow my lines And hide my face Well maybe it was childish, foolish Before schoolish, immaturish, lose your coolish Well I had to grow and prove my ego Take a look at me now And take a taste of the money I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy honey Inflate my ego gently Go tell them heaven sent me Oh cause I'm, I'm so expressive And I'm so obsessed With my ego, my ego And it's message oo inform the press invite the guests I need the press tonight Do you remember how I would recite And how I'd blow my lines And hide my face Well maybe it was childish, foolish Before schoolish, immaturish, lose your coolish Well I had to grow and prove my ego --- Ego - Elton John
