VAN MORRISON
"I Ain't No Celebrity"

I ain't no celebrity
Playing music is enough for me
I don't wanna please everybody
I just wanna please myself, don't you see?
Not tryna live up to anyone's expectations
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
Tryna please, tryna please everyone
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
Everybody else is already taken
(Ah)
You got to be yourself

[Chorus:]
Well I ain't no celebrity (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
Playing and singing is enough for me (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I ain't no celebrity
Baby, I don't care (Do-do-do-do-do-do), don't care whether you agree (Do-do-do)

I don't have to live up to the media
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
Show them those expectations and all that stuff
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
Thank my lucky stars, there's never any guarantees
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
I understand that's the way it is
(Ah-ah-ah)

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't no celebrity
Playing and singing is enough for me (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I ain't no celebrity
Listen, baby, I don't care (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
Whether you agree (Do-do-do)

[Instrumental break]

I don't wanna live up to media's show business
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
Expectations are just that, my lucky stars
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
I realize never any guarantee of any thing
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
I understand, that's just the way it is
(Ah-ah-ah)

[Chorus:]
Hey, I ain't no celebrity
Singing and playing is enough for me
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I ain't no celebrity
Baby, I don't care (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
Whether you agree (Do-do-do)

[Bridge:]
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
I'm not here to live up to anyone's expectations
All that tryna please everyone, I wanna please myself
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
If that's not enough for you, then that's too tough
(Ooh, da-da-da, da, da)
I just wanna put out my stuff

[Chorus:]
I ain't no celebrity
Playing and singing, that's enough for me
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I don't wanna please everybody
I just wanna please myself, you see?
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do)
I ain't no celebrity
Playing my music, singing is enough for me
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
And I ain't no celebrity

[Outro:]
Baby, I don't care (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
Whether anyone agrees (Do-do-do), agrees with me
I don't care if you don't agree, oh, just see
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
I don't care (I don't care)
If you don't agree
