Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it's been a while    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 if our success was as good as dead our worst critics were in our head    Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree       People say we're done for we're liabilities    But I brought property between genius and insanity    You wrote the books on brains and wealth and looks    But in 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 if our success was as good as dead our worst critics were in our head    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 if our success was as good as dead our worst critics were in our head    Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
