I've read those gossip magazines
all about those movie stars
Wearin' their designer jeans,
posed in their expensive cars
But I don't need no limousine,
no reality TV shows,
the cover of People magazine...
I'll never have my own line of clothes
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
The world may never know my name,
and I may not be blessed with fame
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
Don't have an Oscar on my shelf,
Gold records hangin' on my walls
I have to answer the phone myself,
no little girl to screen my calls
Don't party with the polo set
Don't travel with an entourage
Don't drive no little red Corvette,
just got a Smart Car in my garage
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
The world may never know my name,
and I may not be blessed with fame
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
We'll star in our little romance ev'ry night
You'll be my leading lady in the candlelight
(Inst.)
Might never be on a music chart,
but girl, I'm luckier than some
'Cause just as long as you're in my heart,
baby, you're my Number One
But baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
Be my leading lady every night now
Be my leading lady, etc.
This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
