I was feelin’ rather good
Should’ve touched some wood
Here she comes again
Reachin’ out to bend my ear

She’s worth another look
All the time it took
Pleasin’ to the eye
How can I just disappear, oh
It ain’t clear, no
She’s a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh I just might, yeah

I could have let her in
Give her just a spin
Let her think it’s love
Better rise above it all

She’s knockin’ at the door
Seems to want some more
Never gets the clue
What am I to do she’ll fall
And she might call, oh no
She’s a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh, I just know

She could do me well
I can always tell
She’s ready for the kill
But I think that I will go, no

Sure I’m gonna see
Something just for me
Till it comes along
When it’s feelin’ wrong I’ll know
Gotta take it slow, yeah

She’s a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh, I might, yeah

She’s a bright and blazing star
But I just must be sensitive to light, yeah
Sensitive to light, Ooooh
