Actress lyrics

Some day Im going to grow up
And be every mans dream
Some day Im going to grow up
And forget this sad little me
Im 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

Im an actress through and through
And to my bones
Im 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 cant never really hurt
And if it does, Im an actress
Ill play it nonchalant
In the total scheme of things its insignificant
(sure I can take the knocks)

Cause Im an actress through and through
And to my bones
Im an actress through and through
And to my bones

I may not be that pretty now
But whos the referee
Standards of beauty
Will be redefined because of me

And then theyll be the scandals
Everywhere my name
Men will jump from balconies
And Ill just shrug and take the blame
(yeah, theyll say I died for love)

Cause Im an actress through and through
And to my bones
Well, Im 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 Ill 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 Im an actress throughand through
And to my bones
Im an actress through and through
And to my bones
Im an actress yeah, yeah, yeah

Ill be gracious to the lesser stars
And generous to the unknowns
And if another actress threatens
My position on the throne

Well, I dont know exactly what Ill do
I dont exactly know
But I know that it could turn into
One of my most poignant roles
Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out
And theyll have to leave the theater early
And then theyll go home
And whatll they do?
They'll have a big glass of alcohol

Cause Im an actress through and through
And to my bones
And if I make it to the top I wont be overthrown
Im an actress ah, yeah, yeah
