Oh, Little Jackie
(Little Jackie)
Alright
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star

She got off a Greyhound in search of fortune and fame
Hopin' to find a better way and leave her troubles behind
But little did she know that life was sometimes touch and go
Some never get it, open your eyes or you'll learn to regret it

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
(Smack-dab in the middle of)
Oh, growin' up

(Times Square)
Is this where she makes it?
(Some people never get there)
Then she met a guy
(So fine)
But he wants to buy nothin' but a 5 dollar high

Jackie say no
(He'll try to change ya)
Or rearrange ya
(Or rearrange ya)
Remember what your mama done told ya
Never ever take gifts from a stranger

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
(Smack-dab in the middle of)
Oh, growin' up

I'm talkin' 'bout
I said, I'm talkin' 'bout Jackie

All that glitters ain't gold
(Don't let the green eyes fool ya)
You're only 16 years old
(Don't let the streets try to rule ya)

You never meant to be a runaway
Oh, no, no, no, ho
There's got to be a better way today, today

Talkin' about Jackie
(I believe ya, I believe ya)
(If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it)
Ho, ooh, oh, ooh, yeah

Talkin' about Jackie
(I believe ya, I believe ya)
(If you believe in yourself I really think you're gonna make it)
'Cause if you get my meanin'
Then you better get the feelin' yeah, yeah

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
(Smack-dab in the middle of)
Oh, growin' up

Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
She's caught in the middle
(Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be, she wants to be a super star
(Smack-dab in the middle of)
Growin' up, oh
