New Lyrics #2 - Girl With the Bright Star Horizon

You don't need shallow words
and one night praise
from guys who see you as
nothing more than a pretty face,
You don't need well-worn lines
and baited hooks
from guys who get their
savoir faire from comic books.

Chorus
'cause there's a better world out there for you
than the one that they would drag you through

You don't need fancy cars
and pretty green
from guys who'll say anything
but what they really mean,
You don't need phone calls
at a quarter to eight
from guys always explaining
why they're running late.

Chorus
'cause there's a better world out there for you
than the one that they would drag you through.

You don't need a paperback
version of Romeo
from guys always looking
for a quid pro quo,
You don't need letters
slid under your door
from guys who don't want
to be with you anymore.

Chorus
'cause there's a better world out there for you
than the one that they would drag you through
you're the girl with the bright star horizon
shine on, like a Byron star tonight.
