Actress

ACTRESS

WRITER CARLY SIMONSome 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 through and 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
