Daytime Drama

Billy Idol

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day by day, hour by hour
What haunts my nighttime starts my daylight
Even good friends have no answers
Beautiful stars
(Ow) You don't want hard cash, just a few facts
Its use and abuse, you'd write your story
As work for playtime, time for love
My beautiful stars, beautiful stars

[Chorus]
Don't touch her, man
I want her over and over again
Don't touch her, man
I want her over and over again

[Verse 2]
Beautiful star in my daytime drama
When I ask the question for an answer
See you dancing, romancing what I want
My beautiful star, beautiful star (ow ow ow)

[Chorus]
Don't touch her, man
I want her over and over again
Don't touch her, man
I want her over and over and over and over
Oh..
[Verse 3]
Beautiful star of my daytime drama
Yes, it's in my hand now
You're my hope for a future
Beautiful star of my daytime drama
[?]
You're my hope for a future
Some are happy
Some are amazed
Some are devoted
Some are saved
I was one, but I was saved
Again, again
Beautiful star of a daytime drama, yeah
....
