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 youll learn to regret it

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

Then she met a guy (So fine) but he wants to buy nothin but a $5 high
Jackie say no (Hell try to change ya) or rearrange you (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
Shes caught in the middle (Of reality and what shes dreamin of)
Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
(Smack dab in the middle of) Oh, growin up

Oh, wah, wah, me
Oh, yeah

All that glitters aint gold (Dont let the green eyes fool ya)
Youre only 16 years old (Dont let the streets try to rule ya)
You never meant to be a runaway, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, ho
Theres got to be a better way today, today

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