Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]

Honey, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, oh, baby

Wanna be right here where you are

Till my dying day, yeah, baby

[Verse 3]

So many have tried, tried to find

A love like yours and mine, mmm-hmm

Girl, don't you realize how you hypnotize

Make me love you more each time? Yeah, baby

[Verse 4]

Honey, I'm never gonna leave you lonely

Give my love to you only

To you only, to you only

[Verse 5]

Honey, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, no, baby

Wanna be right here where you are

Till my dying day, yeah, baby

[Verse 6]

Feels so good when we're lying here

Next to each other, lost in love, yeah, baby

Baby, when we touch, I love you so much

You're all I've ever dreamed of, yeah, baby

[Verse 7]

Honey, I'll never leave you lonely

Give my love to you only

To you only, to you only

[Verse 8]

Honey, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, girl, no, baby

Wanna be right here where you are

Till my dying day, mmm-hmm

[Verse 9]

Honey, you, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, whoa-oh-oh, baby

Honey, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, no, baby

[Verse 10]

Honey, wanna be right here where you are

Till my dying day, ah, yeah

Honey, you, you, you, you (Are my shining star)

Are my shining star, no-oh

[Verse 11]

Honey, you, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, yeah, baby

Honey, you are my shining star

Don't you go away, ooh, baby
