Lyrics

[Intro] Which brings us to the chick song portion of the program, um I write these songs on purpose, I have as long as I've been doin' this goin' back to when I was, like, you know, fourteen And, you know, I was that pain in the ass that brought my guitar to every party I ever went to And my, uh, my, uh, my first audiences were pretty much exclusively between three and five girls It was like, I grew up, I grew up in Texas and, and I didn't, I, and I didn't play football, so this was my only shot So I was like the best route I discovered was get yourself declared an honorary girl And I got, I got to go places the football players never got to go, so, uh It was, uh, and I knew a lot of Rolling Stones songs and, and Bob Dylan songs But the truth is that Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan scared the fuck out of fourteen-year-old girls, so I learned a lot of Donovan songs, man, and, uh 'Cause it worked, and, uh Jesse callin' me out, so, uh, uh I, uh, and I'm not above repurposing a song I've wrote for one girl and using it on another girl, it is my intellectual property after all And I've heard women actually argue about which song is about who and I I never have the heart to tell 'em they're all about me Even this one [Chorus] My baby sparkle and shine Sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine My baby sparkle and shine Everyone knows she's fine [Verse 1] She blesses all that she sees Toss of her hair and a kiss in the breeze She don't love no one but me I can't believe she's mine Shimmerin', she moves Sunlight all around her Even when she's blue Silver clouds surround her [Chorus] My baby sparkle and shine Sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine My baby sparkle and shine Everyone knows she's fine [Verse 2] My baby swings down the street Big, tall high-heel shoes on her feet Walks by and my heart skips a beat Stumblin' like a fool She give me somethin' so sweet I can't sleep, y'all, and I can't eat Sparks fly whenever we meet I'm breathless 'cause she's so cool [Bridge] Anywhere she goes I can only follow She'll be there, I know When I awake tomorrow [Chorus] My baby sparkle and shine Sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine My baby sparkle and shine Everyone knows she's fine And everyone knows she's mine
