Lyrics
She comes to life from the cover of a Hollywood magazine
She embodies the idealized image portrayed on the cover of a Hollywood magazine.
With a sense of confidence hard to fight
She exudes a strong and difficult-to-resist self-assurance.
She waits to be discovered
She anticipates being noticed or recognized.
Underneath the cover of a neon night
She remains hidden or unnoticed amid the vibrant atmosphere of a neon-lit night.
She's a star
She possesses qualities that make her stand out and shine brightly.
All of my friends they got a bet she hasn't seen seventeen
People speculate she might be younger than seventeen.
I never been any good at playin' the game
The speaker has never been skilled at engaging in games or deception.
I'd just love to give her what she needs besides fortune and fame
The speaker desires to provide her with genuine care and support beyond material success.
She's a star
Reaffirmation of her remarkable qualities that set her apart.
From the backstreets to the city
She navigates from less affluent areas to urban settings.
There you'll find her lookin' so pretty
She appears captivating while transitioning between these environments.
First she buys you, then she sells ya
She gains your attention, then manipulates or influences you.
You know she wants you when she's telling you
Her interest becomes apparent when she communicates with you.
*Take me to the music
Invoking a desire to immerse in music and experience intense emotions.
Out into the night
-Drag me through the fire
-Do it to me right*
-She steps right out and grabs you like a cover girl photograph
She confidently approaches and captivates you like a model in a photograph.
She'll size you up then she hits you with those Hollywood tears
She assesses you and then employs emotional manipulation characteristic of Hollywood.
But I don't need no close-up
The speaker isn’t swayed by superficial appearances to recognize her sophistication.
To tell me she got style beyond her years
Despite her youth, she displays a mature and refined sense of style.
She's a star
Reiteration of her exceptional qualities that make her shine.
From the backstreets to the city
She’s alluring in both less privileged areas and metropolitan environments.
You're gonna find her lookin' so pretty
Her captivating appearance persists in different settings.
First she buys you, then she sells ya
Reiteration of her ability to captivate and then influence others.
You know she wants you when she's telling you
Her interest in someone becomes evident during interactions.
( * Repeat)
Repetition of the chorus.
