She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen She's by far the biggest star the world will never see But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me Shine on shine on shine on though the world may never see Oh my baby won't you shine on shine on shine all your sweet love on me She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me Shine on shine on shine on
