Lest old acquaintance be forgot I lost your number in the rush Our friendship suffered with my success Now Ive been sacrified to entertain I went down smiling, it felt like pain So self-important to this scheme Ive got friends in higher places Dont you recognize my faces Millions want my auto-photograph Critics want to write my epitath Ive got personal numberplates Ive got more money than Bill Gates Run it, run it, run it back up to me Run it, run it, run it back up to me If I cant top this industry My birthright feeling incomplete I wont get sucked into this greed Cos I sing love is all you need Lest old acquaintance be forgot
