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

    The lady starstruck running after me
    The lady 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 starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck Writer/s: RITCHIE BLACKMORE, RONNIE JAMES DIO
