The Stars In Your Eyes
The Dramatics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sagittarius, Virgo
Maybe Scorpio
I wouldn't care if you were Aquarius
I'm still in love with you

As sure as you were born
You could be Gemini
But even if you were a Capricorn
I could never let you go

'Cause, I ain't goin' by
Those stars in the sky
I'm goin' by those stars in your eyes
And I love you

Oh, I don't need a second look
'Cause you're what's happenin'
In my book
And I love you

Taurus, Leo, Pisces
It makes no difference, girl
If you're in love with me
Oh, that's all I need to know

I will give all my heart
And all my love
And I don't care about the stars
My love just grows and grows

'Cause I ain't goin' by
Those stars in the sky
Yeah, I'm goin' by
Those stars in your eyes

I don't give a heck
About that old zodiac
Because it's what's in your heart
Girl that's where it's at

And I love you
Oh, I need you, I need you
I don't need a second look
'Cause you're what's happening in my book

I ain't goin' by
Those stars in the sky
Yeah, I'm goin' by
Those stars in your eyes, yes

I don't give a heck
About the old zodiac
'Cause girl, it's what's in your heart
Girl, that's where it's at

I don't believe in this reality
When it comes to you and me

I ain't goin' by
Those stars in the sky




Yeah, I'm goin' by
Those stars in your eyes
