Pretty, if the sun won't shine I'll be coming out to meet you I'll be there to make you mine Pretty, if the rain will pour I'll be knocking at your window I'll be begging you for more It is as if you've come along too soon And I'm trying to fit you in But I can't seem to find the room Cutie, if it all falls through We can piece it back together I can learn to trust you too You're just too good to lose And I can't refuse So don't make me choose Between the two I'm fed up in here In my atmosphere Don't you know who you are You're my shooting star Pretty, teach me wrong from right 'Cause in love there are no answers And in life there is no lie Pretty, if the sun won't shine Now you've come this far to meet me And I know, I know you're mine You're just too good to lose And I can't refuse So don't make me choose Between the two I'm fed up in here In my atmosphere Don't you know who you are You're my shooting star Don't you know who you are You're my shooting star
