Fine girl I for like to tell you something
I for like to comb your hair
I want to miss my sweet
Truly I know say to no know me
But come make I show you love
I want to change your name

I know say you don love
I know say you don try
But tonight baby give me a chance
I know say dem do hurt you
I know say you don cry
But I love the smile that's on your face

′Cause the stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight in your eyes

In your eyes

Because the stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight in your eyes

The stars are out tonight in your eyes
In your eyes

Oh oh uh-uh

The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight in your eyes
In your eyes
