Actress
Some day I'm going to grow upAnd be every man's dreamSome day I'm going to grow upAnd forget this sad little meI'm going to shine in the spotlightWear sexy clothesBe somebody everybody wants to meetAnd no one ever really knowsNo one will ever know me
I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesI'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bones
Critics will adore meAt least they will at firstBut, you see I already know thisSo it can't never really hurtAnd if it does, I'm an actressI'll play it nonchalantIn the total scheme of things it's insignificant(Sure, I can take the knocks, you know)
Cause I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesI'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bones
I may not be that pretty nowBut who's the referee?Standards of beautyWill be redefined because of me
And then there'll be the scandalsEverywhere my nameMen will jump from balconiesAnd I'll just shrug and take the blame(They'll say I died for love)
Cause I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesWell, I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bones
My acceptance speech will be a milestoneNever will such a star have ever graced the microphoneAnd of course I'll thank my agentThe way they always doThough I could have done it without himAnd that goes for the Academy tooAnd the makeup people and the lighting designers and everybody else
Cause I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesCause I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesI'm an actress
I'll be gracious to the lesser starsAnd generous to the unknownsAnd if another actress threatensMy position on the throne
Well, I don't know exactly what I'll doI don't exactly knowBut I know that it could turn intoOne of my most poignant rolesEveryone will have their handkerchiefs outOh my God, and they'll have to leave the theater earlyAnd then they'll go homeAnd what'll they do?They'll have a big glass of alcohol
Cause I'm an actress through and throughAnd to my bonesAnd if I make it to the top I won't be overthrownI'm an actress
Oh, I'm an actress...I'm an actress...Oh, I'm an actress...I'm an actress...Yes, I am...I'm an actress...I'm an actress through and through...
