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 ugly 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 strange 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.
