If I play the game And I win the fame Will I be the man I dreamed of And if I woo the crowd And their screams are loud Is it really me that they love
What does it profit What does it profit me
(chorus) If I gain the whole world And lose my own soul What would be said of me Oh my vanity, vanity's Chasin' the wind And I'm feelin' empty again, yeah I'm feelin' empty again
If I play the game And I win the fame Will I be the man I dreamed of And if I woo the crowd And their screams are loud Is it really me that they love
What does it profit What does it profit me
(repeat chorus)
If I play the game And I win the fame Will I be the man I dreamed of
