High Flying Adored
Orlando Pops Orchestra Lyrics

High flying, adored, so young, the instant queen
You are a young beautiful woman with all the talents and instantly became a queen-like figure.

A rich beautiful thing of all the talents, a cross between
You are wealthy, beautiful, and gifted, and a combination of different desirable qualities.

A fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
You are both sexually desirable and virtuous like a saint.

You were just a back street girl
You started as an ordinary girl from the streets.

Hustling and fighting
You worked hard and struggled to succeed.

Scratching and biting
You fought fiercely and aggressively to achieve your goals.

High flying, adored, did you believe in your wildest moments
In your wildest moments, did you believe that you could achieve such fame and success?

All this would be yours, that you'd become the lady of them all?
Did you envision owning and dominating everything, becoming the most successful woman around?

Were there stars in your eyes when you crawled in at night
Did you dream of fame and success even when you were tired and struggling?

From the bars, from the sidewalks, from the gutter theatrical?
Did your journey to success originate from bars, sidewalks, and other lowly locations?

Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall
Don't become too proud or complacent because a fall from such great heights would be devastating.

High flying, adored, what happens now, where do you go from here?
Now that you are successful, where do you go from here?

For someone on top of the world, the view is not exactly clear
When you are on top of the world, it's difficult to see things clearly.

A shame you did it all at twenty-six
It's a shame that you achieved all that at such a young age of 26.

There are no mysteries now, nothing can thrill you
There is nothing left to discover or excite you, as everything is already known.

No-one fulfill you
Nobody or nothing can bring you true fulfillment anymore.

High flying, adored, I hope you come to terms with boredom
I hope you can accept and make peace with the fact that you may now face boredom and dissatisfaction.

So famous, so easily, so soon, is not the wisest thing to be
Becoming famous so easily and quickly is not the wisest decision one can make.

You won't care if they love you, it's been done before
You won't be too concerned about whether people love you, as it's a common occurrence.

You'll despair if they hate you, you'll be drained of all energy
However, if people hate you, it will hurt you and sap your energy completely.

All the young who've made it would agree
Everyone who has achieved success while young would understand this sentiment.

High flying, adored, that's good to hear, but unimportant
Being told that you are adored is nice, but ultimately unimportant.

My story's quite usual, local girl makes good, weds famous man
My story isn't unique - I'm just a normal girl who becomes successful and marries a famous man.

I was slap in the right place at the perfect time
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time for my success.

Filled a gap--I was lucky
I was fortunate to fill a gap and be in demand.

But one thing I'll say for me, no-one else can fill it like I can
However, I'm unique, and no one can fill the gap I fill quite like I do.
