The Magic Is Inside You. There Ain't

I've Never Been The Big Recording Star I'd Love To Be Some Day. I've Had Lots Of Hits Off And On Through The Years But I've Never Had The Success Of Other Artists - One Hit After Another Back-to-back-to-back And Big Hits, Where Every Song Is Going To Be Number One. I'm Not Greedy Or Nothing. I Just Want Everything. Is There Something Wrong With That?

I Just Can't Stand To Look Plain, 'cause That Don't Fit My Personality. I May Be A Very Artificial-looking Person, But The Good News Is, I'm Very Real On The Inside.

Having A Big Gay Following, I Get Hate Mail And Threats. Some People Are Blind Or Ignorant, And You Can't Be That Prejudiced And Hateful And Go Through This World And Still Be Happy.

It's Almost Like Being Trapped In Some Other Form. The Real Me Is So Different From The Way I Look On The Outside.
