Hey, yeah
Don't wanna be a star
Don't wanna, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, ooh yeah

I believe we cry too many tears
Because we need love, not just money
I believe we have too many fears
We all need someone to call us honey, yeah

I believe in what you're giving me
'Cause you, you could be a good reason
To survive you'll be my destiny, destiny
My destiny

I don't wanna be a star, oh baby
Don't wanna be a star, sweet baby
I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

With your love you turn me round and round
Your love is to me a special feeling
All my life was just an up and down
But you, you have changed the whole meaning, yeah, yeah, yeah

I believe in what you're giving me
'Cause you, now you are, you are the reason
To survive you'll be my destiny, destiny
My destiny

I don't wanna be a star, oh baby
Don't wanna be a star, sweet baby
I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

Corona

A corona is a type of plasma "atmosphere" of the Sun or other celestial body, extending millions of kilometers into space, most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, but also observable in a coronagraph. The word "corona" itself derived from the Latin, meaning crown, which in turn came from the Ancient Greek κορώνη (korōnē) meaning "garland" or "wreath". more »
