Lyrics:
If I'm high on a hill
She'd still been looking down at me
What does she see that brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware!

Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
I know it can mean that

The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck, running after me
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she'd soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while that a smile made 'em really care

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked - with one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs but not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen it before
I know I can mean that

The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck, running after me
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, oh oh o-o-oh
Oh my
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck, running after me, yeah
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse a call

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked! With one look!
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs, hah!
But not me 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen it before
I know it can mean that

The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck, running after me
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, bad luck
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck

The lady's starstruck running after me
The lady's starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
And back of a tree, looking back at me
Climbing up my stair
I've just got to beware
Lady's starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck
