NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY
GOT A FEELING HIGHER THAN HIGH
THIS IS THE REAL THING UUHH
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NO MORE LIVING IN SHAME
AND I'M NOT GONNA RUN OR GONNA HIDE AWAY
NO MORE TELLING ALL THOSE LIES
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG
NO MORE LIVING IN CHAINS
NO I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
THERE'S NO USE HOLDING BACK DESIRE
WE'VE BURNT OUR FINGERS,
NOW LET'S JUMP INTO THE FLAME
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY
GOT A FEELING HIGHER THAN HIGH
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NEVER MIND THE RAIN AND THE STORM
WE'LL KEEP EACH OTHER WARM
GOT SOMETHING STRONGER THAN STRONG
THIS IS THE REAL THING
GONNA WALK OUT HAND IN HAND
SO LET THEM CRITICIZE
'CAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE
IT'S JUST LOVE
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF SHY
SO LET'S GO OUT AND SHOW THEM
WHAT WE HAVE INSIDE
THERE'S NO USE HOLDING BACK DESIRE NO
WE'VE BURNED OUR FINGERS
NOW LET'S JUMP INTO THE FIRE
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY NO NO
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY OOH
GOT A FEELING HIGHER THAN HIGH
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NEVER MIND THE RAIN AND THE STORM
WE'LL KEEP EACH OTHER WARM
GOT SOMETHING STRONGER THAN STRONG
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
NEVER MIND THEM BABY
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY
NEVER MIND NEVER MIND
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
WHOO-OO, BABY
THIS IS THE REAL THING
'CAUSE I'VE GOT A FEELING
THAT'S HIGHER THAN HIGH
OH, WHAT YOU DO TO ME BABY
AHHAH
OH, WHAT YOU DO TO ME BABY
THIS IS THE REAL THING
UHH UH
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY
GOT A FEELING HIGHER THAN HIGH
THIS IS THE REAL THING
NEVER MIND THE RAIN AND THE STORM
WE'LL KEEP EACH OTHER WARM OH SO WARM
GOT SOMETHING STRONGER THAN STRONG
THIS IS THE REAL THING AHHH
THIS IS THE REALEST THING
WHAT YOU DO, WHAT YOU DO
KEEP DOING IT, DOING IT TO ME
KEEP DOING IT, DOING IT TO ME
'CAUSE I'VE GOT A FEELING
THAT'S HIGHER THAN HIGH
NEVER MIND THE STARS IN THE SKY
NEVER MIND THE WHEN AND THE WHY OH

LET THEM TRY I SAY HEY
