Falling in love with a pop starlet has its drawbacks Lack of privacy, for one Gossip, for another But falling in love with Kiki Ramirez was the best thing I’ve ever done And the stupidest One story planted by her agent and now I look like a fool Played by the starlet Looking like a simp for the world to see But none of its true and I can’t defend my woman how I want The urge to fight for her, to defend her is too strong Even against the Hollywood machine working hard to keep us apart Falling in love with a civilian wasn’t part of the plan I didn’t believe in love Not for me and not for my life But a small town mayor was the man who’d torn down my walls Snuck past my defenses And now with our future hanging in the balance its up to me to find a way to make it all work A crazy agent A ravenous paparazzi And a pregnant belly I’m powerless to hide I want Eric and the life I see for us But how can I invite this madness into his quiet, small town life?
