How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that
And maybe then I could be a movie star,
And maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes
Cuz life would be just like this movie,
and I would never feel alone In fact,
all the problems that I have would go away,
and I would forget how to feel sad

Cuz this silver screen that I'm looking at
is making me a little bored of my life cuz
its not what I'm looking at,
Cuz this has so much more of excitement,
thrills, and adventurous things in every life
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
If only the shows were as real as the glows
then we'd never see the same,
but I guess we'll never know
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Well they showed it, and we bought it
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie

She wants a better body and some super model moves
Cuz in her head she's always been the ugly one
Well hey, we think we're ugle too
And it's true that we will never know
all of the things that she could have known
Well I wonder when she thought it was that she would win?
Cuz man she got so thin

Every now and then she would start to pretend like she was a star and in the movies they're in
But it's atrange cuz it seems
there's never happy endings
Is it make believe?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
If only the shows were as real as the glows
then we'd never see the same,
but I guess we'll never know
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Well they showed it, and we bought it
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie
