Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you
[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
That is why (That is why) all the girls in town (Girls in town)

[Pre-Chorus]
On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true

[Chorus]
That is why (That is why) all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be so close to you
Oh, just like me, they long to be so close to you
Just like me, they long to be so close to you
