Girl in the Movies 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 be 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 (In her eyes)

She gets the roles she chooses

She can laugh or she can cry

Acting in 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 steppin' up and I'm steppin' out

I'm feelin' bold and I'm feelin' proud

I want to be that girl

I want to be the girl in the movies

Hmm...

I want to be the girl in the movies

Hmm...

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 being splattered

I've already been that girl

Oh... I want to be (I want to be)

I want to be (I want to be)

I want to be the girl in the movies

I want to be (I want to be)

Hey, look at me (Hey, look at me)

I want to be the girl in the movies

I want to shine (I want to shine)

I want to shine (I'm gonna shine)

It's my time

And I want to shine

I want to be happy, I want to be free

Just like the girl in the movies
