"Like what the fuck do they know? {backwards message}
All their taste is in their mouth
Really, what the fuck do they know?
Come on, baby
Let's go crazy! "
Tell me do you like what you see?
Hey, I ain't got no money
But honey, I'm rich on personality
Hey, check it all out
Baby, I know what it's all about
Before the night is through
You will see my point of view
Even if I have 2 scream and shout
Oh baby, I'm a star!
Might not know it now
Baby, but I are, I'm a star!
I don't want 2 stop till I reach the top
Sing it! (We are a star!)
Hey, take a listen
Tell me do you like what you hear?
And if it don't turn you on
Just say the word and I'm gone
Honey, I know ain't nuttin' wrong with your ears (Oh)
Hey, check it all out
Better look now or it just might be 2 late (Just might be 2 late)
My luck's gonna change 2night
There's gotta be a better life
Take a picture sweetie, I ain't got time 2 wait
Oh baby, I'm a star!
You might not know it now
Baby, but I are, I'm a star! (No!)
I don't want 2 stop till I reach the top
Sing it! (We are a star!)
Everybody say nothin' come 2 easy
But when you got it, baby, nothin' come 2 hard
U'll see what I'm all about (See what I'm all about)
If I gotta scream and shout (If I gotta scream and shout)
Baby, baby (baby), baby (baby), baby (baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (Star!)

The song "Baby I'm A Star" by Prince is a vibrant, upbeat song that reflects Prince's unyielding confidence and star power. The lyrics describe Prince's flashy and attractive persona, which he believes will take him all the way to the top. Prince seemingly brushes away any doubts and negative opinions with the lines "Like what the fuck do they know? All their taste is in their mouth. Really, what the fuck do they know?". "Baby I'm A Star" is a call to arms for those who dare to challenge the conventional and reluctant norms. Prince's message is to let go of fear and go crazy.
In the song, Prince sings about his unique personality and how he feels like a star despite not having the same materialistic wealth as others. He states that his personality is more valuable than any amount of money. The song is a reflection of Prince's persona, his self-confidence, and his willingness to push beyond the boundaries of traditional pop music.
Despite being a feel-good pop song, "Baby I'm A Star" highlights a deep existential message about identity and self-worth, which is still relevant today. Prince's ability to connect with his audience, communicate his message and empower his fans is what makes him one of the most iconic musicians of all time.

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars"
Yeah, yeah
I feel your love, and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars"
Oh, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars"
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
