Touch the Stars (Acoustic) Lyrics

She had the face of an angel but the emptiest eyes

And she was drawn like a pilgrim to celebrity's lights

Looking out for a big name

Fame and luxury square in her sights

She ain't gonna leave alone tonight

And she says

I don't wanna touch the stars

Said I just wanna stand in their light

I don't wanna touch the stars

Just wanna get with somebody who might

You gotta know your limitations

To keep you ahead in the fight

And I don't wanna touch the stars

Not tonight

He was built like Adonis

He was carved out of stone

But there weren't nothing behind it

Just the muscle and bone

He come come to meet a fine a lady

Like the one in the diamonds & fur

And make himself indispensable to her

And he says

I don't wanna touch the stars

Said I just wanna stand in their light

I don't wanna touch the stars

Just wanna get with somebody who might

You've gotta know your limitations

To keep you ahead in the fight

And I don't wanna touch the stars

Not tonight

Oh turn your head around

Don't you want the things in life that money can't replace

When comes the day that you're too old to play

What will you do then

When you're not the pretty face

But they're not even listening

Sense & reason are well out of sight

Coz they ain't gonna leave alone tonight

And they say

I don't wanna touch the stars

Said I just wanna stand in their light

I don't wanna touch the stars

Just wanna get with somebody who might

You've gotta know your limitations

To keep you ahead of the fight

And I don't wanna touch the stars

Not tonight
