Your scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men

Well baby don't put my picture in there with them

Don't make us some little girl's dream that can't ever come true

That only serves to hurt and make you cry like you do

Well baby don't do it to me and I won't do it to you



You see all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home

But when the action fades you're left all alone

You deserve better than this, little girl, can't you see that you do

Do you need somebody to prove it to you?

Well you prove it to me and I'll prove it to you



Now every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction

But in the morning you end up settling for just lights, camera, action



And another cameo role with some bit player you're befriending

You're gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending

Well girl you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold

Cryin' alone in the theater as the credits roll

You say I'll be like those other guys

Who filled your head with pretty lies

And dreams that can never come true

Well baby you be true to me
