Oh, Little Jackie (Little Jackie)
 
 Alright
 
  
  Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
  
 
 She got off a Greyhound in search of fortune and fame
 
 Hopin' to find a better way and leave her troubles behind
 
 But little did she know that life was sometimes touch and go
 
 Some never get it, open your eyes or you'll learn to regret it
  
 
 Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
 
 She's caught in the middle (Of reality and what she's dreamin' of)
 
 Oh, Little Jackie she wants to be a star
 
 (Smack dab in the middle of) Oh, growin' up
  
 
 (Times Square) Is there where she makes it (Some people never get there)
 
 Then she met a guy (So fine) but he wants to buy nothin' but a $5 high
 
 Jackie say no (He'll try to change ya) or rearrange you (Or rearrange ya)
 
 Remember what your mama done told ya, never ever take gifts from a stranger
