so life is different than what they show us on tv
do dreams come true for everyone
or just for barbie and i've been waiting here so very patiently
i wonder what's wrong with me
i wanna know how to live the real world
i wanna know cause i'm a real live girl
i wanna live in tv land with mr. t and the a-team
my problem they could solve before the end of the show
i wanna live in tv land where they're so thin and pretty
they must be nice people cause they're on 90210 in tv land
i wish i looked like all the nice actors on tv
sometimes you've got to choose between real and plastic surgery
just like the people on the television screen
barbie's not a role model
i wanna know how to live the real world
i wanna know cause i'm a real live girl
i wanna live in tv land and be one of charlie's angels
must be fun to fight crime and have new clothes for every show
i wanna live in tv land like samantha or dream of jeannie
my problems i could solve by wrinkling my nose in tv land
i wanna know how to live the real world
i wanna know cause i'm a real live girl
we can change the world through the tv show
all kinds of people like we have in the real world
i wanna live in the tv land
make it safe to be ordinary gonna do my own show
it's about us real live girls in tv land
