I'm not myself when I'm around you
Awkward and hopeless most of the time
But when you take the stage
I'm front and center for you
I will, you won't
You could, you don't
I give, I give up.
Cause baby you're a star
Baby you're a star.
Unveil your art then back in the safe.
Pour out your heart then pack it away.
I'm hanging on all expectations out the door
Cause I would, you won't
You should, you don't
I give and I give up
Cause baby you're a star
Baby you're a star.
Maybe I drank too much
Ive got a knack for that
Not much for thinking clear
When I go into combat
But I never meant to put
My cigarette out in your back
Cause baby you're a star
Baby you're a star.
Now I'll never get to take you
To my favorite places
Have a private conversation
Wake you up to toast and coffee anymore.
