[Intro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm
Oh-whoa, I am
Oh yeah
Your star tonight, baby
I am
Yeah
[Chorus]
I am your star for life (Yes, I am)
Entertaining for you (All night long)
And I'm willing to do (Yes, I am; yes, I am)
Anything you want to (What you want me to do?)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (I'll shine so bright)
When you look up at me
You will understand we were meant to be
[Verse 1]
I am your song, ready to be sung
And the name of this tune is "I'm your number one"
Whenever you need me, just call on my name
And I'll be there in a hurry
And on that you can depend and never worry
[Chorus]
I am your star for life (I'm your star, baby)
Entertaining for you (Entertaining for you)
And I'm willing to do (Willing to do)
Anything you want to (Anything, anything, yeah)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (I'll shine so bright)
When you look up at me (When you look up at me)
You will understand we were meant to be
[Verse 2]
You've drawn me to you mind, body and soul
And what we've got, oh, will never, never, never grow old
In my quiet time, I feel, feel you wanting me
So I let it be, I'll let it be, let it be
[Chorus]
I am your star for life (I'm your star)
Entertaining for you (Entertaining for you)
And I'm willing to do (And I'm willing, willing, willing, baby)
Anything you want to (Anything you want)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (Oh)
When you look up at me (When you look up at me)
You will understand we were meant to be (Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
I am your star for life (Yeah)
Entertaining for you (I'll be anything you want)
And I'm willing to do (And I'm willing to do)
Anything you want to (Anything, anything)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (I'll shine so bright)
When you look up at me (When you look up at me, you'll see)
You will understand we were meant to be (That I'm your baby)
[Bridge]
Happy days are here again
'Cause it look like I've been blessed
I've been blessed with my best friend, yeah
To have and to hold you for the rest of my life
So I gotta give in, I give in to what feels right
[Chorus]
I am your star for life
Entertaining for you (Entertaining)
And I'm willing to do (And I'm willing, willing, willing, baby)
Anything you want to (Anything you want me to do)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (I'll shine so bright)
When you look up at me (When you look up at me)
You will understand we were meant to be
I am your star for life (Meant to be, baby, baby)
Entertaining for you (Entertaining for you, baby)
And I'm willing to do (And I'm willing to do)
Anything you want to (Anything you want me to)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (Baby, I'll shine so bright for you)
When you look up at me
You will understand we were meant to be
[Chorus]
I am your star for life (Said I'm your star for life, yeah)
Entertaining for you (Entertaining for you)
And I'm willing to do (Willing to do it)
Anything you want to (Anything)
Baby, I'll shine so bright (Oh, oh)
When you look up at me (When you look at me, look at me)
You will understand we were meant to be (We were meant to be)
[Outro]
(Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
All my life, I've been searching for somebody like you
But one day I kneeled down and I just said a prayer
And the answer came to me
(Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
God said, "I got something for you, baby
I got something for you, baby
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, wait a minute"
(Shoo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
"If you just keep the faith
This man that you want so bad will come your way, yeah"
And I waited and I waited...
