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 |
