I'm surprised that nobody has commented on this song. It is so beautiful lyrically. In my opinion, this song describes an infatuation with an alluring female a male character has met in a nightclub. I love the imagery in the lyrics; you could just picture it so well. I like the line: "She flies like a bird over his shoulder/she whispers in his ear, "boy, you are my star" It just seems so romantic in a way. i'd love to say that to someone :-)
