[MAKEUP ARTIST CLEARS THROAT]

What's wrong with my face?

What's wrong with your face?

Nothing's wrong.

You have a beautifuI face.

Then why'd you put aII this gunk

on my face? You didn't put any on him.

Because, my dear, you are the star.

[SINGING]

We can't trust what we can't see

We're not strong enough to fight

When we feel weak

We can't resist another flame

We're not able to live above the blame

But love is

Love is

It's always been

It always will be

We may not be perfect

But love is

We may not be written

Anywhere close to the stars

But wherever we are

Love is

It's always been

It always will be

Love may not be perfect

Oh, we may not be perfect

But love is

Love is

Ooh

ANNOUNCER:
Here she is,

country's newest star, Bobbie Thomas.

[SINGING]

Hey, hey

Black leather boots

Deep-sea green eyes

A miracle in bluejeans

Cut her out to size

What did I do?

How did I find?

How did such a good love thing

Walk into my life?

Oh, that's my man

He loves everything I am

That's my man

Honeysuckle kisses so delicious

Honey, that's my man

I can't get no sleep

But that's all right

The magic in his fingers

Filling up my nights

I get a little bit weak
