Marilyn McCoo - You Don't Have To be a Star (featuring Billy Davis Jr.) Lyrics

You can come as you are
With just your heart
And I'll take you in though
You're rejected and hurt
To me you're worth
Girl, what you have within.

Oh honey, boy
I don't need no superstar
Cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied
Cause I'm satisfied
With the love that you can inspire
You don't have to be a star, baby
To be in my show

Oh, honey
You don't have to be a star, baby
To be in my show
Somebody nobody knows
Could steal the tune that you want to hear
So stop your running around
Cause now you've found what was cloudy is clear
Oh honey, there'll be no cheering from the crowds
Just two hearts beating out loud

There'll be no parade
No tv or stage
Only me till your dying day
You don't have to be a star, baby
To be in my show
Oh, honey

You don't have to be a star, baby
To be in my show
Don't think your star has to shine
For me to find out where you're coming from
Oh honey, girl, what is a beauty queen
If it don't mean that I'm number one?
I don't need no superstar
Cause I'll accept you as you are.

You won't be denied
Cause I'm satisfied
With the love that you can inspire.
You don't have to be a star, baby,
To be in my show;
Oh, honey,
You don't have to be a star, baby,
To be in my show.
You don't have to be a star, baby
