Gonna Make You A Star lyrics:



Oh is he more, too much more than a pretty face

It's so strange the way he talk, it's a disgrace

Well I know I've been out of style

For a short while

But I don't care how cold you are

I'm coming home soon

I'm gonna make you a star, yeah



Well he say he's into his music

But I don't believe it

He just doesn't seem to understand the rock media

Well I know I'm not super hip

And I'm liable to take a slip

But I don't care how cold you are

I'm coming home soon

I'm gonna make you a star, yeah, yeah



We gonna make ya a star

We gonna make ya a star



Oh is he more, too much more than a pretty face

(I don't think so)

It's so strange the way he talkin', it's a disgrace

Well I know I've out of style

For a short while

But you see I don't care how cold you are

I'm coming home soon

I'm gonna make you a star, yeah



We gonna make ya a star

We gonna make ya a star

We gonna make ya a star

We gonna make ya a star

We gonna make ya a star
