Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (J-J-J-J.R)
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

Yeah, I'm feeling good tonight, finally doing me and it feels so alright, oh
Time to do the things I like, going to the club everything's alright, oh



No one to answer to
No one that's gonna argue, no
And since I got the hold off me
I'm living life now that I'm free, yeah

Told me to get my together, now I got my together, yeah
Now I made it through the weather, better days are gonna get better
I'm so sorry that it didn't work out
I'm moving on
I'm so sorry but it's over now
The pain is gone

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumping in my ride, I'm heading out tonight
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

Lyrics:
I’m feeling like a star,

I’m Solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo.

Gonna see a princess, everything's all right oh

Aint a fixture in the palace zoo no
And since the carbonites off me
Im livin life now that I'm free, yeah
Told me to get myself together
Now I got myself together, yeah.
Now I made it through the weather,
Better days are gonna get better.

I’m so happy the carbonite is gone.
I’m movin’ on.
I’m so happy that it’s over now.
The pain is gone.

I’m putting on my shades
To cover up my eyes
I’m jumpin’ in my ride,
I’m heading out tonight

I’m Solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo.

I’m picking up my blaster,
Put it on my side.
I’m jumpin’ in my Falcon
Wookie at my side.

I’m solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo!

There’s only like 2 lyrics… I’m riding solo, so 3 I guess but still. Don’t think you deserve a pat on the back for remembering these lyrics. Just want to make sure you knew that
