[Verse 1 - Kelis:] There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star If it seems like I'm shining brightly It's probably a reflection of something you already are I forget about myself sometime When there's so many other around When deep inside you feels darkest That is where I can always be found That is where I can always be found That is where I can always be found [Hook - Cee-Lo Green:] Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let 'em stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner or later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see and you sure look like a star to me [Verse 2 - Kelis:] There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star If you try to reach out an touch me you'll see I'm not really that far I may not be the brightest nor am I the last one you'll see But as long as you notice, that's just fine with me Everything's just fine with me Everything's just fine with me [Hook - Cee-Lo Green:] Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let 'em stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner or later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see and you sure look like a star to me [Verse 3 - Kelis:] There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star I've been running and jumping, but barely Getting, getting over the bar I plan on being much more than I, am but that's in do time But until then I'm guilty, and being humans my crime Being human that is my crime Being human that is my crime [Hook - Cee-Lo Green:] Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let 'em stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner of later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see and you sure look like a star to me
