Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm a trusting soul, I'm ashamed of living dangerously And I'm a headstrong girl, I'm afraid I won't be told I feel my destiny is only 'round the corner Sugar daddy promised me I'll be sitting on top of the world It's all my naked ambitions said I would leave them wanting more That could be crazy wishing We could ever have it all, have it all, have it all We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema You'll be director and I'll be your movie star We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema You'll be director and I'll be your movie star, oh, oh So he's a headstrong guy and perhaps I shouldn't listen There's a million girls wanna be in my position If he tells me lies I'll suspend my disbelieving I leave it all behind, I ain't asking for permission Feels like a new beginning And there's so much to explore It's not so crazy thinking We could really have it all, have it all, have it all We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema You'll be director and I'll be your movie star We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema You'll be director and I'll be your movie star, oh, oh Movie star, movie star Movie star
