How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that
Maybe then I could be a movie star
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 it's 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, it's 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
Make believe, 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, it's sweet, it's in the movie
