Star Collector
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Hello!
Think I'll let her keep on goin'
Wherever it is she's goin' to
Give her my autograph and tell her
It's been nice knowin' you
'Cause she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
She only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
How can I love her when I just don't respect her?
When everything is goin' my way
She wants to be close at hand
She moves to some other doorway
When things don't go the way she planned
Yes, she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
She only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
Oh, it won't take much time
Before I get her off my mind
'Cause, she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
She only aims to please young celebrities
Yes, she's the star collector
(Star, collector of stars)
Oh, it won't take much time
Before I get her off my mind
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye...
