Carly Simon Lyrics

"Actress" lyrics


Some day Iґm going to grow up
And be every manґs dream
Some day Iґm going to grow up
And forget this sad little me
Iґm 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

Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Iґm 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 canґt never really hurt
And if it does, Iґm an actress
Iґll play it nonchalant
In the total scheme of things itґs insignificant
(sure I can take the knocks)

Cause Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones

I may not be that pretty now
But whoґs the referee
Standards of beauty
Will be redefined because of me

And then theyґll be the scandals
Everywhere my name
Men will jump from balconies
And Iґll just shrug and take the blame
(yeah, theyґll say I died for love)

Cause Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Well, Iґm 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 Iґll 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 Iґm an actress throughand through
And to my bones
Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Iґm an actress yeah, yeah, yeah

Iґll be gracious to the lesser stars
And generous to the unknowns
And if another actress threatens
My position on the throne

Well, I donґt know exactly what Iґll do
I donґt exactly know
But I know that it could turn into
One of my most poignant roles
Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out
And theyґll have to leave the theater early
And then theyґll go home
And whatґll they do?
They`ll have a big glass of alcohol

Cause Iґm an actress through and through
And to my bones
And if I make it to the top I wonґt be overthrown
Iґm an actress ah, yeah, yeah
