jeff daniels - are you as excited (about me as i am) lyrics

i lived in a mansion up in hollywood hills
i had rooms on floors that i ain’t seen still
married me a model who hung on my arm
like a beautiful bracelet she was my lucky charm
had a building full of people paid to fan my flame
so that life as i knew it would never be the same
i was larger than life, i made the camera lie
i was your dream come true with a wink in my eye

are you as excited about me as i am?

i walked the red carpet like royalty
i was moses partin’ that celebrity sea
i looked like a million and that’s gettin’ away cheap
who said beauty was only skin deep
even got myself a fragrance i can call my own
me and walmart got a line of clothes
i’m just trying to make the world a better place to be
where everybody looks and smells like me

are you as excited about me as i am?

and then one morning, to my surprise
my career just, up and died
i called my manager on the telephone he said
yup, hate to tell ya son but you’re on your own
i said, how can this happen? how can this be?
everyone i know, wants to be me!
i shine like a diamond
i’m bright as the sun
i’m everything to everyone
he said, well that may have been true
but all i know is that yesterday was a long time ago
he said, we live in a world that would rather forget
what happened before for what isn’t quite yet

are you as excited about me as i am?

i lost my mansion and my super model wife
i said goodbye to all the glamour, my glamorous life
and that building full of people all forgot my name
now life as i knew it will never be the same
drank myself stupid, took pills galore
spent a lot of time out with betty ford
now all i am is all i’m not, now all i had is all i got
i walked up to a stranger i did not know
i said, excuse me sir, but, before you go
i need to ask, do you know my name?
cause i need someone to tell me that i’m still the same
he said, well i’ll tell you a little secret, the truth be told
but first you gotta promise not to tell a soul
then he leaned in close and with a tear in his eye
he spoke like a man who could no longer lie

he said, i used to be famous, i used to be hot
i used to be someone that i know i’m not
i used to shine like a diamond
i was as bright as the sun
i was everything to everyone
then he smiled a smile of a man who can
told me someday soon i’d understand
with that he turned and walked away
into his very own yesterday

now, all these years later, to my surprise
once in a while i’m still recognized
take a few pictures, sign some autographs
shake a few hands, have a few laughs

just for a moment, i can feel the flame
just for a moment, i am still the same
just for a moment, i am more than just me
just for a moment, i am all i used to be

cause i used to be famous, i used to be hot
i used to be someone i know i’m not
i used to shine like a diamond
i was bright as the sun
i was everything to everyone

are you as excited about me as i am?
