There was a girl I knew

Who always wanted to

Be the one to stand out from the crowd

Always believed that she

Was gonna live her dreams

That what went down was gonna come around

For all the doubters, nonbelievers

The cynical that once were dreamers

One of these days you'll open up your eyes

And you'll realize



That girl was a one-town teenage drama queen

A hot, tough everyday wannabe

But she'll have changed her destiny

Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild-child dreamer but she'll find herself

'Cause she believes in nothin' else

Then you'll look back and you won't believe

That girl was me



Armed with an attitude

That she knows how to use

She's gonna get there any way she can

Now she knows what she wants

No one is gonna stop her

Nothin's ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters, nonbelievers

The cynical that once were dreamers

One of these days you'll know that you were wrong

Who would've known?



That girl was a one-town teenage drama queen

A hot, tough everyday wannabe

But she'll have changed her destiny

Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild-child dreamer but she'll find herself

'Cause she believes in nothin' else

Then you'll look back and you won't believe

That girl was me



Life is a work of art

You gotta paint it colorful

Can make it anything you want

Don't have to stick to any rules

You don't need a high IQ

To succeed in what you do

You've just gotta have no doubt

Just believe in yourself



Doubters, nonbelievers

Once were her dreamers

One of these days you'll open up your eyes

And you'll realize



That girl was a one-town teenage drama queen

A hot, tough everyday wannabe

But she'll have changed her destiny

Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild-child dreamer but she'll find herself

'Cause she believes in nothin' else

Then you'll look back and you won't believe

That girl was me



That girl was a one-town teenage drama queen

A hot, tough everyday wannabe

But she'll have changed her destiny

Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild-child dreamer but she'll find herself

'Cause she believes in nothin' else

Then you'll look back and you won't believe
