Shinin' Star - Terrace Martin

You the one that’s responsible, remarkable

Honourable, always in control

You’re daddy’s pride with your momma’s eyes

Love ‘em both sorta like I love my life

They created you so the praise is due

Up high cause he favoured you by makin' you

My compliments inside you is where heaven is

Beautiful and suited too, brighten up the dark

So I’mma nickname you star

Can I call you Mars?

Or maybe Venus?

Nothing’s between us on this earth

But it’s God first

So every time you right by my side, God work

And you’re my little star

I see the way you shine

Don’t go too far now baby

I need you

Long walks thinking and planning our future (I need you)

Rushing tryna get home thinkin' what I’m gonna do to ya (I need you)

Knew that it was you to trust, you can turn the Luther up

I must admit it girl you go the smoothest touch, got me stuck

And that’s alright though, I’mma let go, love’s in control

So let me ask, is you cool with that?

It’s you in fact cause you got us on a plateau

I can’t go back to the playa way of thinking

A queen like Billie Holiday, my inner being

Taking giant steps like John Coltrane

Jump in the boom and me replacing your name with mine

This ain’t a game cause everything that I’m sayin' sincere

You’re here with me not entertainin' them lames

(Ooh, star, I love the way you shine)

See you appreciate the little things, actually

When the revenue was short, you’d be holdin' up the fort

Beauty and compassion need balance any man would need

Though the future’s lovely, look at what my eyes see

Me giving you a seat to mark the beginning of we

Follow I take the lead, a little Jo and Jodeci

Spinning while I kiss your cheek, know my heart is yours to keep

(I'd do anything for you)

Yea you got it, boo

Lovin' every side of you I receive the bright of you

(Oh yea), and I be there for you

Hard work and soft on you sweet like a summer foo

Stacked in the pants, yea, somethin' like an Amazon

Gotta hand it to ya girl, ya everything a man want

And I’m thankful
