High Society
Norma Jean Wright Lyrics

Livin' in high society
The singer and the subject of the song are both living in a wealthy and privileged lifestyle

You weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth
The subject of the song did not come from a wealthy background

And hunger taught you how to live on your own
The subject of the song had to learn to be self-sufficient due to their lack of resources

With all of your hopes and doubts
The subject of the song had to overcome many obstacles on their journey to wealth and success

I've watched you climb every rung of that social ladder
The singer has observed the subject of the song work hard to achieve a higher social status

Now you're a big celebrity, VIP, life'll be
The subject of the song has become a famous and important person, and their life has changed accordingly

And money don't matter
Having wealth and success is not the only thing that is important to the subject of the song

You are the best inspiration I can see
The singer views the subject of the song as a model of success and motivation

And you have taught me how to be anything
The subject of the song has inspired the singer to pursue their dreams and ambitions

That I truly, truly want to be
The singer is determined to become the person they want to be, thanks to the subject of the song

I'm so pumped up that I feel like a real go-getter
The singer is excited and motivated to achieve their goals

I'd like to go from poor to rich, tailored slacks, make a switch
The singer wants to improve their financial status and appearance, just like the subject of the song did

I'll change for the better
The singer is confident that they will improve themselves and achieve their goals
