Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Oh, how you sparkleAnd oh, how you shineThe flush on your cheeksIs more than the wineAnd he must do somethingThat I didn’t doWhatever he’s doingIt looks good on youYou look so good in loveYou want himThat’s easy to seeYou look so good in loveI wish you still wanted meHe must have stolenSome stars from the skyAnd gave them to youTo wear in your eyesI had my chancesBut I set you freeAnd now I wonderWhy I couldn’t see
