[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Who's that girl that considers herself a super woman?
And who's that girl thats independent and hard working?
And who's that girl that can cook and got some good lovin'?
And who's that girl that can take a down and out man and turn him into something?

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (A superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars
So high you're on the top (For real, for real)
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (A superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Whoa-ooh)
So high you're on the top

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
Tell me, who's that man with them 20 inches under that wide body Benz?
And who's that man sitting in VIP just a thuggin'?
And who's that man all the ladies are kissin' and huggin'?
Tell me who's that man that the whole ghetto is lovin'?

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (Superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Oh)
So high you're on the top (Believe me when I say it)
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (Superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Whoa-ooh)
So high you're on the top

[Verse 3: Ronald Isley]
Tell me y'all, who's that girl that looks so good and dress so sexy?
And who's that girl that's got me wanting her next to me?
And who's that girl that with one look can knock me of my feet?
And who's that girl that can take me straight into a ecstasy?

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (A superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Whoa-ooh)
So high you're on the top (On the top)
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (A superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (On the top)
So high you're on the top

[Verse 4: Ronald Isley]
Tell me y'all, who's that man that considers himself to be full grown?
And who's that man that claims the world to be his own?
And who's that man with a gentle heart and a pleasant tone?
But when you mess with his money
He's quick to go upside your dome

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (You're a superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Believe me now)
So high you're on the top (For real, for real)
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (Superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Whoa-oh yeah)
So high you're on the top

[Bridge: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
You've got to let your light shine
Yeah, yeah
Let your light shine
Yeah, yeah
Let your light shine
Yeah, oh yeah
Let your light shine
Yeah, you've got to
Let your light shine
You're a star, you gotta let it show
Let your light shine
The world is yours, you gotta take control
Let your light shine
Sing it loud so everyone knows
Let your light shine
Just take the key and unlock the door

[Chorus: R. Kelly & (Ronald Isley)]
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (You're a superstar)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Yes, you are)
So high you're on the top (For real, for real)
You're a superstar (You are)
That's what you are (Super duper star)
Money, clothes and fancy cars (Yeah)
So high you're on the top (Woo)

[Outro: Ronald Isley (Over Chorus)]
Shining bright for the world to see
You are a diamond when it's crystal clean
You make the world go around and round
You took music and melody and gave it a soulful sound, ow

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
