Simon Webbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm the only one alone
So I crossed the dance floor
Heading for the back door
Ready to make my way home
But wait a minute what's this I see
J-lo glow and legs to spare
Something you got put it on me
chorus:
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..
well we could talk a little
Laugh a while and maybe
Talk a little more
But let's sidestep the usual bullshit
Make our way onto the floor
Baby there's something bright about you
Youe eyes, your smile, your style of dress
You make me feel like I'm a sinner
And now I'm ready to confess
chorus
and oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
I can make you feel so good, so good..
and oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
And I really wish you would, you would
so everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now
With the flow now
(repeat x3)
so everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now
chorus
uh oh
In Simon Webbe's song "Star," the singer is at a party and notices that they are the only one there without a significant other. They decide to leave the party but then they see J-Lo, who has a glowing aura and stunning legs. The singer feels something unique and captivating about J-Lo and realizes they are not going anywhere. The chorus reveals the singer's confusion about what this feeling is, but they cannot deny its presence. They invite J-Lo to come closer and dance with them, promising to make her feel good if she reciprocates. The song ends with an invitation to everybody at the party to dance to the nice and slow rhythm.
The lyrics of "Star" are clearly focused on the feeling of attraction and the desire for physical intimacy. However, in a broader context, the song can also be seen as a celebration of life and the idea of finding one's place in the world. The singer is alone at the party until they meet J-Lo, who becomes their "star." Finding that bright and shining presence in one's life can give a person a sense of purpose and direction. The party becomes a metaphor for life, and the singer's encounter with J-Lo represents the moment of clarity and focus that can help someone find meaning in their existence.
