Stars – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

Dive into PinkPantheress's "Stars" to experience a masterclass in blending nostalgic UK electronic sounds with modern, diaristic pop. Through its blend of vulnerability and subtle paranoia, you can learn how to recognize emotional subtext in music, especially when an artist deftly repurposes familiar samples to tell a fresh, fractured, and intensely modern story about love and confusion.

[English]

What you wanna do, what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna do, what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

So what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

So what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

So what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

So what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

Now what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

Now what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

Eita porra!

You need some money, baby just call me,

tell me what always keeps you up at night.

You need such a feeling, but I'd never play.

Don't be how it's going for you. You'll see that girl...

...I'm standing over there.

She's watching everywhere.

Now she's watching your head pop. That's a cup.

But you leave, the sweat will go.

Brasil!

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

It's you and me.

It's you and me.

What you wanna do, what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna do, what you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

You're having bad, bad thoughts.

I am sitting in your draw.

And you don't know how long you'll keep on fighting this war.

Check the matches on the bed, is your name that's being said?

Or maybe you'll just name the other person instead.

Hello.

Hi.

Yeah, I'm gonna be there in 10 minutes. Make sure you got the stuff.

I don't have any of your stuff.

Don't test me. You know I can't talk about this on cell phone.

Got it? Whatever.

If it turns out you're the cops, we're done doing business.

Later.

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

I love the city, I love the city.

Fine girl, I love the city.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

What you wanna go and put stars in their eyes.

  ➔ The contraction "gonna" stands for "going to", which is used to talk about a planned future action.

• I don’t have any of your stuff.

  ➔ Negative sentence with "any"

  ➔ In negative statements we use "any" instead of "some"; here "any" follows the verb "have".

  ➔ "watching" is the –ing form of the verb, showing an action that is happening right now.

• If it turns out you’re the cops, we’re done doing business.
