Supastar
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
'Cause you're my girl
To me that's what you are
You must have been there waiting all the while
While I played the field just like an anxious child
Oh when I heard one day you would come to me
Now here we are, baby you set me free
You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
'Cause you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are
How sweet it's been since you've been loving me
First we were friends and now we're family
But what the future holds, just don't know
But I'll be OK, long as there's you to hold
You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
'Cause you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are
Happiness with you, can't ever believe it could be true
But now that you're my girl
You know you make me a better world
You know I never knew love like this before
The way you hug me, and love me
You know I like it all over, oh
You're a star
That's what you are
Something wonderful
I gotta let you know
You mean the world
'Cause you're my girl
Shine like a supastar
To me that's what you are
