Mister, can't you see I am a bad risk
So please don't bet on me
I'm no good for that long climb
I'm doin' you a favor
And savin' you from what will only be

There'll be one star shining behind us
One more heart that breaks up
Ah, mister, I've tried before
I just can't get this right (one star shining)

The promises you make, they sound familiar
I've heard those same "I love you's"
So many times ago
Tonight I am perfection
By tomorrow, you'll be changing me I know

There'll be one star shining behind us
Too many empty kisses, ah, mister
I'm telling you, I just can't get it
Right or wrong it's all the same
Someone's heart is broken
Ah, mister, I'm telling you I just can't get it right

Tonight I am perfection
By tomorrow, you'll be changing me I know
We'll be one star shining
One more heart that breaks up
Ah, mister, I'm telling you
I'm never gonna get this
One star shining
Hey, mister, I'm telling you
I just can't find that one, one star shining
Too many empty kisses, ah, mister
I'm telling you
