Superstar

Kaori MUKAI

You are the superstar

Brighter than anybody else

You’re in the spotlight

No one sees me standing on your right

Shining like a shooting star

You’re never ever out of place

You see my friend, I get blinded by your light

A star, high in the sky

Far from where I’m standing

And you, you’re the twinkle in my world

‘Cause you are the one I wanna be

It’s great you call me “friend”

It really is

But don't know if it’s jealousy or fear

When I’m with you, it doesn’t seem so right

Oh why

You are the superstar

Brighter than anybody else

You’re in the spotlight

No one sees me standing on your right

Shining like a shooting star

You’re never ever out of place

You see my friend, I get blinded by your light

It’s great you call me “friend”

It really is

But don't know if it’s jealousy or fear

When I’m with you, it doesn’t seem so right

Oh why

You are the superstar

Brighter than anybody else

You’re in the spotlight

No one sees me standing on your right

Shining like a shooting star

You’re never ever out of place

Sorry, my friend, I don't wanna feel this way, No

You are the superstar

Brighter than anybody else

We all adore you

You’re the princess always

But I still believe someone will cast a light on me

Someday, somewhere

There’ll be a place for me to be

Someday, somewhere

There’ll be a place for me to be…

You are my superstar

Too bright to see you with my eyes now

But I wanna shine with you someday

It's true
