Shining Star
Timbaland Feat Keri Hilson & D.O.E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I had you
But I'm torn by two
I loved you like you loved me
And I'm sorry, baby
For the pain I've caused
Wish I could pause every moment with you
So, I won't so be blue
Just to relive those moments, staring with omen
Oh I keep on hoping
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
I said
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
10 O'clock walk in our Halloween costumes
It was at school
You said I was cool
The way you stared at me made me feel new
We were performing and you were beautiful
Always beautiful
My darling
I'm so sorry
For not being the man that you wanted
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
First date, made me feel special
First kiss, made me wanna settle
Those lips, put you on a pedal
Your caring, made me fight for my life
I will always love you more than anyone
I will always love you till the burning sun goes dark
My shining star
My shining star
My shining star
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
I know you will forgive me
And I don't wanna be lonely
If only you can show me
How you know me
If only
I know
Cool Little Bean
Roast you like coffee
Step to me
Put you in a coffin
These rhymes leave you breathless
Keep you coughing
Too fly like the last letter
Tell me why
I keep going, flowing, never slowing




My rhymes never out of order in the booth
Rhymes so flame you can never call it boof
