[Verse 1]
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
'Cause 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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause this silver screen that I'm looking at
Is making me a little bored of my life 'cause
Its not what I'm looking at
'Cause this has so much more of excitement
Thrills, and adventurous things in every life
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
She wants a better body and some super model moves
'Cause 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?
'Cause man she got so thin

[Pre-Chorus]
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 'cause it seems
There's never happy endings
Is it make believe?
Is it make believe?

[Chorus]
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
