Hey Superstar - revised ;)

So. The next morning after writing the original version of "Hey Superstar", God somehow told me that i could turn this to a more dynamic acapella or pop/ 80s disco version. So, that's what I did last Friday: revising this song :)
Well. Same basic story, inspired by my super-frequent tv appearance of my favourite band, singing their first single from the newly-released third album. Some words should be added to match the phrasing, and turn out that the song got a lil 'belibet' when i first tried singing it. Haha. 
I'm kinda satisfied, however. The previously all-verses-no-chorus song now have verses, choruses, and bridge. More chords (FYI, I cant identify the chord, I can only sing the song :p). more dynamic, and somehow.. more HHS-inspired! An even better news is, when i asked my mom to listen to my pre-recorded voice singing this song, she had no complain on the song! Can't wait to record this with my handsome brother-guitarist :D

Aaaaaaaannd here it is: "Hey Superstar!" - pop version


Hey superstar! Been watching you from afar
You look so good, you sound so good, how lovely you are!
You got me daydreaming all day, hope someday I'll go far
I'll reach for you, I'll be with you
No matter where you are

Hey superstar! You are my waking alarm
You're on TV and i'll go cheesy and wild
You do this and you do that, got the crowd scream and shout
I know you work hard, but i thought, so what?
As long as i scream as hard

Then suddenly, suddenly I wonder
Hey superstar! I wonder, do you ever sigh?
You work right here, you go right there, aren't you ever tired?
You jump like this, you move like that, don't you sometimes wanna cry? 

Hey superstar! You got me stare at face in the mirror
For the mirror don't lie, so i just hope I won't see
A lazzy-go-dreamy, such a pillow-bound me
A wasteful face, complicated maze, faraway from what you are

So immediately, immediately I gather up
Hey superstar! For I feel that you never sigh
You work right here, you go right there, you're just never tired
You jump like this, you move like that, you never show you wanna cry

Hey superstar! You 'slap' me on my cheek!
You make me think, you show me how I've been weepy and weak
Put my finger at this, put the blame in all that
when the real trouble a** is me

Hey superstar! you said time after time 
And I never, not again, let myself whine and complain
For where there's pain, there i may gain
There I may gain

Hey superstar! d'you know how lovely you are?
You sound so good, you look so good, I'm just convinced you'll go far
And I will stay as fans all day though sometimes I'll miss out
I'll work as hard as you have worked hard
I'll meet you at the TOP
I'll meet you at the TOP
Hey superstar! Keep the music playing, live and loud! :D
