 Struggling with Actress? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

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
