Don't bother putting on your tie, I'd rather a casual guy
And don't be putting on those fancy airs
I like my men Devil may care
Don't spend your money when you've got none
It won't cost a dollar for my kind of fun
Don't try and be somebody you'll never be
That high and mighty fool don't mean a thing to me

Don't try and be a star....Come as you are

I don't believe in playing lets pretend
So don't be dropping names of all your famous friends
You say your father made the social page
But your hard working daddy's turning in his grave
Don't get above your raisin' boy
There's a place down here on earth you might enjoy
You know that underneath you're just like me
So don't be acting like you're high society
Darling you won't get far....Come as you are.

Darling you won't get far....Don't try to be a star
Darling you won't get far....Come as you are.....Come as you are
