Lyrics

Popcorn, soda, box of Raisinets Velvet-cushioned seats and soft armrests Best seat in my favorite movie house Start my dreaming as the lights go out Up on the silver screen, I picture me Living out my passions, hopes, and fantasies I want to be the girl in the movies The one with the glint in her eyes The girl that seldom loses Beautiful, with grace and style Acting out her story Standing in her glory Happy ever after I want to the girl in the movies Wish I had a nickel for each dime I've spent Watching others live their lives with confidence Here's a preview of some things to come It's not too late for me to be someone I can't keep living in their make believe Coming attractions will be starring me I want to be the girl in the movies The one with the stars in her eyes She gets the roles she chooses She can laugh or she can cry Acting out her story Standing in her glory Always happy endings I want to be the girl in the movies It's time I show the world just what I'm about I'm stepping up and I'm stepping out I'm feeling bold and I'm feeling proud I want to be that girl I want to be the girl in the movies Hmmmm I want to be the girl in the movies Hmmm Gonna stand up And I'm gonna matter 'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered And I've had enough of my tears begin splattered I've already been that girl Oh, I want to be I want to be I want to be the girl in the movies I want to be: hey look at me I want to be the girl in the movies I want to shine I want to shine It's my time I want to shine I want to be happy, I want to be free Just like that girl in the movies
