Some day I'm going to grow up |
|
And be every man's dream |
|
Some day I'm going to grow up |
|
And forget this sad little me |
|
I'm going to shine in the spotlight |
|
Wear sexy clothes |
|
Be somebody everybody wants to meet |
|
And no one ever really knows |
|
No one will ever know me |
|
I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
Critics will adore me |
|
At least they will at first |
|
But you see I already know this |
|
So it can't never really hurt |
|
And if it does, I'm an actress |
|
I'll play it nonchalant |
|
In the total scheme of things it's insignificant |
|
(sure I can take the knocks) |
|
Cause I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
I may not be that pretty now |
|
But who's the referee |
|
Standards of beauty |
|
Will be redefined because of me |
|
And then they'll be the scandals |
|
Everywhere my name |
|
Men will jump from balconies |
|
And I'll just shrug and take the blame |
|
(yeah, they'll say I died for love) |
|
Cause I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
Well, I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
My acceptance speech will be a milestone |
|
Never will such a star |
|
Have ever graced the microphone |
|
And of course I'll thank my agent |
|
The way they always do |
|
Though I could have done it without him |
|
And that goes for the Academy too |
|
And the makeup people and the lighting designers and everybody else |
|
Cause I'm an actress throughand through |
|
And to my bones |
|
I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
I'm an actress yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
I'll be gracious to the lesser stars |
|
And generous to the unknowns |
|
And if another actress threatens |
|
My position on the throne |
|
Well, I don't know exactly what I'll do |
|
I don't exactly know |
|
But I know that it could turn into |
|
One of my most poignant roles |
|
Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out |
|
And they'll have to leave the theater early |
|
And then they'll go home |
|
And what'll they do? |
|
They`ll have a big glass of alcohol |
|
Cause I'm an actress through and through |
|
And to my bones |
|
And if I make it to the top I won't be overthrown |
|
I'm an actress ah, yeah, yeah |
