You dance ‘round the room
You are twisting and turning
Yeah, you are beautiful
That doesn’t do
You want to be everything
Everyone watchin’

Gypsy rags trailing
To your henna tattoos

(Chorus)

You’re shining
You’re one of the beautiful people
I saw you today in the theater
And everyone noticed your name
in the lights
I guess you were right,
you were right

And everything seemed so much
Easier a year ago
I’d never have guessed
you’d have gotten so far
My friends talk about you
They act like they know you
They say it’s so cool to be
Out with a star

(Chorus)

You’re shining
You’re one of the beautiful people
I saw you today in the paper
And everyone noticed
your name in the lights

You’re shining
You’re one of the beautiful people
I see your face everywhere
And everyone noticed
your name in the lights
I guess they were right,
they were right
