発売年：１９８１、シングル：Natalie・アップル・パップル・プリンセス

She came to L.A. to be a star,
It's been her dream of a lifetime.
The fancy people on Rodeo Drive,
She finally got to be one of them.

She used to live in a small town in Georgia,
And hardly writes to the folks back home now...
Can't even find the time to get lonely,
'Cause she's too busy doing T.V. shows!

# Natalie, are you really happy?
With all your money and fame that you've made?
Natalie, you'd better come back home,
Before it's too late for me to love you again!

They say she's got a good-lookin' man beside her,
Just to spend a night or two.
Someday she wants to be a wife of an actor,
Who can afford to live in Malibu.

Repeat #

She doesn't smile anymore,
She doesn't dream anymore,
She doesn't even sing the song that she loved.
She's getting beautiful, but she's getting so unkind,
She's never like the girl whom once I knew!

(PS﹕Money and fame should not be the only things cared about. There are more to humanity than superficial wealth.)
