lyrics:
V1:
You be my princess
I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.
V2:
Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts
Chorus:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let's go again
V3:
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you
Bridge:
Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away
Chorusx2
to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup
walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

[@lifetodamax]

This song is so bittersweet for me. My best friend and I were roommates and she said I sang this in my sleep. This was the first song I learned on guitar and ukulele and I played it incessantly. So much that I made a parody and wrote a song with the same chord progression. Also so much so that the aforementioned best friend was like STAHP. Very good memories of music and my dearly departed friend

[@jbasher94]

Same! I used to think it would never happen. Never give up people! I’m also almost 30 as another commenter said they were. Wild to think of!

Why are there so many other "pop stars" admired when there are amazingly talented singers/songwriters like this?

[@BOBMARIYO]

K first of all, Bruno Mars is amazing. Second, other pop stars are lucky. They just happened to be at the right place at the right time with the right people, who ended up making them famous.

[@bec7440]

I agree Bruno Mars is amazing

[@virgil1313]

bruno mars by the way, wanted to sing but at first he didnt get the chance so he enter to the music business writing song for other, then producing other and when he made a name for himself he recorded his own disc with the help of the other musicians he produced, so he wasnt at the right place at the right time he worked for it. ;)

How many times have I watched this and when did I favorite it? It's been so long. I remember the first time I watched it, I was drunk and so in love. Maybe 2009. It just reminded me so much of him. I watched this video dozens of times wishing I could sing it to him, but I never showed it to him. We parted ways, on good terms and are still friends, West Coast East Coast friends I guess. But watching this now brings me back so many years when we were head over heels. We are both happy now also, thankfully. To the artist, I hope you are so, so happy in life.
