I was blinded by ambition
When I lost my inhibition
Now suddenly I'm wishin'
To be back where I belong
In the advertising rat race
At a crazy, frenzied pace
I was taking full advantage
And that's where I went wrong

Just remember who you are
If you are what you ain't and you're not where you're at
Then you know you've gone too far

I was steppin' on my friends
I would ridicule and offend
I didn't mean to condescend
Forgive my foolish pride
I couldn't see the jungle for the trees
The business brought me to my knees
You gotta learn how to
Cheat and scam and lie

Just remember who you are
If you are what you ain't and you're not where you're at
Then you know you've gone too far
Just remember who you are
It's never too late to set yourself straight
Self-respect will make you a star

Translation

Ero accecata dalla grande ambizione E poi ho perso la mia inibizione Ora, all'improvviso Voglio tornare al luogo che sento mio Senza esitare, nella folle corsa al successo e al clamore Ho cercato di cogliere ogni opportunità con ardore Ed è qui che mi sono resa conto Di aver sbagliato Non dimenticare mai chi sei e chi sei stato Se fingi di essere quello che non sei, non andrai molto lontano E quanto te ne accorgi, capisci di aver esagerato Calpestavo i miei amici senza pensare Offendevo chi mi stava accanto senza volerlo fare Non volevo cambiare la mia natura Perdonate il mio stupido orgoglio Non vedevo il bosco per colpa degli alberi Il successo mi ha offuscato la vista Gli affari mi hanno messo in ginocchio Ti costringono a imbrogliare, truffare e mentire Ed è qui che mi sono resa conto di aver sbagliato Non dimenticare mai chi sei e chi sei stato Se fingi di essere quello che non sei, non andrai molto lontano Nella vita non dimenticare mai chi sei e chi sei stato, non dimenticarlo mai Non è mai troppo tardi per ricominciare Se rispetti te stesso, brillerai e una vera star diventerai

I was blinded by great ambition And then I lost my inhibition Now, suddenly I want to go back to the place I belong Without hesitation, in the crazy race to success and clamor I've tried to seize every opportunity with enthusiasm And it's here I've realized That I was wrong Never forget who you are and who you've been If you pretend to be who you aren't, you won't go very far And before you know it, you realize you've gone too far I was stepping on my friends without thinking I was offending who was near me without meaning to I didn't want to change my nature Forgive my foolish pride I couldn't see the wood for the trees Success blinded me The business brought me to my knees It forces you to cheat, scam, and lie And it's here I've realized that I was wrong Never forget who you are and who you've been If you pretend to be who you aren't, you won't go very far In life never forget who you are and who you've been, never forget it It's never too late to start again If you respect yourself, you'll shine and become a true star
