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
