Lyrics
I Wanna Be a Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She wants to be onstage, front page.
I'll sign the dotted line;
You know, I'm gonna shine.
She just needs that big break, that great take
To start my new career;
You'll see that I'm sincere
And I won't blow it.
Uh, Mister Director? Please...
Don't reject her 'il you've heard her read
For the lead in your new production.
Mister Producer? Please...
Don't seduce her 'il you've heard her sing
And everything in your new production.
She got to be hot stuff, real tough.
I wanna be photographed,
Asked for my autograph.
I don't want to keep house for a spouse.
I'm much rather be the girl;
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies.
I'm much rather be the girl;
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies.
I'm much rather be the girl,
Need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies.
