girl in the movies

Singer: dolly parton

coming attractions will be starring me

'cause i want to be the girl in the movies

the one with the stars in her eyes

'cause she gets the roles she chooses

she can laugh or she can cry

acting out her story

standing in her glory

always happy endings

i want to be the girl in the movies

it's time i show the world just what i'm about

i'm stepping up and i'm stepping out

i'm feeling bold and i'm feeling proud

yes

i want to be that girl

oh

i want to be the girl in the movies

mmmm

i want to be the girl in the movies

mmmm

i'm gonna stand up

and i'm gonna matter

'cause i've had enough of my dreams being shattered

and i've had enough of my tears begin splattered

i've already been that girl

oh

i want to be the girl in the movies

i want to be the girl in the movies

i want to be: hey look at me

i want to be the girl in the movies

i want to be happy

i want to be free

just like that girl in the movies
