Star Baby The Guess Who Well I never been much for admitting things That's why it's all so hard to say That I'm head over heels in love with your kind of insanity And if it please your highness on a sunny day sometime Can I take your picture in the park with silk and satin oh? (Chorus) Star Baby Flshy little shiny little two timin' mama singin' Star Baby Shiny little flashy litle lovin' machine I've never been much good at keepin' a secret Now it's easy for me to say That I'm head over heels shook up about the way that you fool with me. And if it please you highness on a sunny day sometime Can you take me riding babe I'll tell you what I'm thinkin' 'bout you (Chorus) Well I saw you last night on a hollywood show And now it's easy for me to say That I'm head over heels shook up about the way that you sang to me And if it please your highness on a sunny day sometime Can you take me drivin' maybe kissin' in you Cadillac (Chorus)
