I saw her get off the bus- perfectly dangerous
though I could tell- the trouble she'd spell- I fell for Gabrielle

she said "I can't stay long- there's somewhere else I belong"
(but) I made her smile- with my so-called style- I knew she'd stay a while

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name

moving so fast we crashed/ hours and weeks flash past
running around/ uptown and down/ feet barely touched the ground

we could break all the rules/ but love is a game we'd lose
never confess/ pretend you care less/ no one's to blame, I guess

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, I can't let you go
Gabrielle, in the end I know
I'll be the one who calls out your name

(bridge)
Gabrielle never cries- but something was in her eyes- whispering words
goodbye

Gabrielle shines on screen- and covers of magazines
on billboard-signs- nine stories high- once she was only mine

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, I can't let you go
Gabrielle, in the end I know
I'll be the one who calls out your name
