I'm still wishing on a star
Hoping you will feel me wherever you are
I'm still living in a dream
Someday you will fall in love with me
... Someday you will fall in love with me
I'm still wishing on a star, I'm still wishing on a star
Oh

Nobody better baby, no other girl
Will you give you love, boy, love you long time
Never met a drug that could get you this high
... Never met a drug that could get you this high
And I hope that you come 'cause you're invited
Nice and slow I'ma drive your body crazy

Whatever you want, I got ya, my baby
Anything you need, I'll make it so right
Just give me a chance and make me your lady
Don't you wanna see what I can provide, oh?
Lying down, baby on a warm summer night
Looking out my window at the sky, sky
Wishing you were here now I'm holding me
Then the night wouldn't be so lonely, yeah
