You ring me up and you bring me down
I never know if you’ll come around
I like the salty taste in my mouth
Ten minutes on the lips, ten days without

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when you’re lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

What would you say if I shined at night?
If everyone wanted a piece of my light?
Would you say the name?
Would you finally be the guy who can’t get enough of me?

If I were a star,
Would you think of me when you’re lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

Just think of what I could be and not what I am
The envy of every woman, the dream of every man

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when we’re lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?
