You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh honey you been stealing from the thieves
And you got caught
In the headlights, of a stretch car
You're a star

Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe it must be art
You're a headache, in a suitcase
You're a star...

Hold me
Thrill me
Kiss me
Kill me

Chorus

Our love lights shine
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me...

You're a star, yes you are
