When I was a younger girl
I lived in a dream
Acting out all different lives
I saw on the screen
Mama said now don't believe everything you see
They're just stories, not the way life is going to be
You see too many movies, too many movies
That's all the matter with you

Now I am an older girl
I still don't know myself
Every day I try so hard
To be somebody else
And my daddy says to me, Girl what's wrong with you
I just say, Well I don't want to live the way you do
'Cause I've seen too many movies, too many movies
That's all the matter with me

Now you walk into teh room
Moving kind of slow
Speaking from the corner of your mouth
And keeping low
And you try your lines on me
I gotta admire your style
But I know where you got your walk
And I know where you got that smile
You've seen too many movies, too many movies
That's all the matter with you

Yeah, we've seen too many movies
Too many movies
That's all the matter with me
That's all the matter with you
