Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it's been awhile
But I've been dying trying to capture a billion smiles
People like us we are always misunderstood
Though there's ups and downs the bad outshines the good
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
Hold it close to your heart
What ever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn't good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we're as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
People say we're done for, we're liabilities
But I bought property on the thin line between genius and insanity
You wrote the books on brains and wealth and looks
Ahead of both our times, free thinkers only thrive in history books
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
Hold it close to your heart
What ever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn't good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we're as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
Howard my dear was it films and planes that made you this way?
Howard my dear they spoke and we're jokes
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
Hold it close to your heart
What ever happened to Howard Hughes?
I guess life wasn't good to you
You gave it all you got and still they threw you out for being you
Even with our success we're as good as dead
Our worst critics were in our heads
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
