Lyrics

Lights. Camera. Action

I’m waiting tables
But I am dreaming of another life
Showbusiness parties
Award nominations, a trophy wife

Movie star
I just wanna be
Movie star
I just wanna be a movie star

People look through me
One day they’ll all want to be friends of mine
Today, I’m nobody
Tomorrow it’s me with whom they’ll want to dine

Movie star
I just wanna be
Movie star
I just wanna be
Movie star
No matter what the cost to my sanity
I’ll give any role authenticity
Go down in cinematic history
I just wanna be a movie star

Don’t want no walk on parts
I want to be the star
I want all eyes on me
My name on the marquee
Don’t want no cameo
I want the leading role
Give it to me
Give it to me

As I take orders
I work on perfecting my acceptance speech
I see their lips moving
But I’m thanking all those who believed in me

My folks will be so proud
As will the whole of my neighbourhood
I’ll forever be known as
The quintessential smalltown boy made good

Movie star
I just wanna be
Movie star
I just wanna be
Movie star
No matter what the cost to my sanity
I’ll give any role authenticity
Go down in cinematic history
I just wanna be a movie star
