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 throughand 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
