ACTRESS

WRITER CARLY SIMON



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 through and 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
