[Intro]
(Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, woah)
Remember the way we were before?
Loving lullabies of hot couture
But you don't bring me flowers anymore
Thought our happiness was evergreen
Now it's all a distant memory
And my broken heart belongs to me
I know this is not the end
Happy days are here again
I'll cry no more tears again (Ahh)
Barbra, is that you?
Barbra, can you hear me?
(Mmmm, ahh)
[Verse 1]
A star is born tonight
You're gonna get your life
So hot, I'm outta sight
(Give it to me, give it to me)
Don't rain on my parade
Just hear me when I say
I'm here, I'm free again
(Give it to me, give it to me)
Hello, gorgeous
[Chorus]
Barbra, can you hear me now?
Barbra, can you hear me now?
[Post-Chorus]
Singer, actor, director, producer
Grammy, Tony, Emmy, and Oscar
Barbra, can you hear me now?
(Ahh)
[Verse 1]
A star is born tonight
You're gonna get your life
So hot, I'm outta sight
(Give it to me, give it to me)
Don't rain on my parade
Just hear me when I say
I'm here, I'm free again
(Give it to me, give it to me)
[Refrain]
You loved me once
Now love me twice
Forevermore (Ah!)
[Verse 2]
I'm back and here to stay
I'll slay another day
I'm back and here to stay
I slay (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Barbra, can you hear me now?
Barbra, can you hear me now?
(I can hear you)
[Bridge]
You're more to me than just a funny girl
Show me how to take over the world
Cross-dressing as a man in Yentl
(Ugh, you're making me verklempt!)
[Chorus]
Barbra, can you hear me now?
(I can hear you)
Barbra, can you hear me now?
[Post-Chorus]
Singer, actor, director, producer
Grammy, Tony, Emmy, and Oscar
Barbra, can you hear me now?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ahh, woah
