Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You look so pretty on that stage
And you don't even have to think about it
And if you do it doesn't show
Everywhere you go
You're at home
I'm in love and in envy of you
[Verse 2]
Ooh
How they adore you
Ooh
I adore you
[Verse 3]
And I pray
Pray you never lose your star
I'm so proud
Proud of all that you are
[Verse 4]
I wish it was me
I wish it was me
[Verse 5]
You're so much better at everything
I sink lower in my chair
There's no compare
I adore you
Ooh, I adore you
[Verse 6]
I came first but you're ahead
Ahead beyond your years
People try
Try to learn this thing you've always been
[Verse 7]
I wish it was me
I wish it was me
[Verse 8]
When you pray you're answered
You walk through life just like a dancer
If I had my way every day will be your parade
When you pray you're answered
You walk through life like a dancer
If I had my way every day will be your parade
[Verse 9]
Ooh, I adore you
Ooh, I adore you
[Verse 10]
And I pray
Pray you never lose your star
I'm so proud
Proud of all that you are
[Verse 11]
Ooh, I wish it was me
I wish it was me
