Now that I'm a big star, what am I gonna do?
I'm so bored counting all my money
I sit here and I think of you
It's so easy, it's so easy to do

I don't even have to try
I don't even want to try
Why should I waste my precious time?
I can't make you love me...but I know you will

I'm such an asshole, how could you resist?
I never meant to let it go to my head
I never thought it would come to this
It's me...the asshole of your dreams

I can't make you love me...but I know you do
I'm so cool, no one wants to talk to me
And I'm so cool, no one wants to look at me
I'm so fuckin' cool, nobody cares at all!
I'm a big fuckin' star oh yea yea yea!

    My Interpretation

    I think it's pretty obvious, but the song is about someone who gets rich and famous doing what he's doing, what he always apparently wanted, but misses someone he used to love. He probably dumped her back in the day and was mad at her and said he never wanted to be with her again, but now that he's where he's at, nobody truly seems to like him anymore. He now misses her, he feels like he can't get her (or anyone else) to love her ever again, and ultimately, that is the worst feeling to him, worse than not being famous in the first place.
