Actress |
| 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 |
