Girl in the Movies (from the Dumplin' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Coming attractions will be starring me
'Cause I want to be the girl in the movies
The one with the stars in her eyes
'Cause she gets the roles she chooses
She can laugh or she can cry
Acting out her story
Standing in her glory
Always happy endings
I want to be the girl in the movies

It's time I show the world just what I'm about
I'm stepping up and I'm stepping out
I'm feeling bold and I'm feeling proud
Yes, I want to be that girl

Oh, I want to be the girl in the movies

Mmmm
I want to be the girl in the movies
Mmmm

I'm gonna stand up
And I'm gonna matter
'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered
And I've had enough of my tears begin splattered
I've already been that girl

Oh, I want to be the girl in the movies
I want to be the girl in the movies
I want to be: hey look at me
I want to be the girl in the movies
I want to be happy, I want to be free
Just like that girl in the movies
