[Karen]
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face
And a name to remember
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jean's gone
She's moving on
Her smile
And your fantasies
Play a duet
That will make you forget
Where you are
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying
"Let me be your star."
[Ivy]
Flash back to a girl
With a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start
The adventure
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive
They fill her soul
She's in control
The drama, the laughter
The tears just like pearls
Well, they're all
In this girl's repertoire
It's all for the taking
And it's magic we'll be making
Let me be your star
[Both]
I'll just have to forget
The hurt that came before
[Karen]
Forget what used to be
[Ivy]
The past is on the cutting room floor...
[Karen]
The future is here with me
[Both]
Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights
All the love, and the lights
That surround her
Someday she'll think twice
Of the dues, and the price
[Ivy]
She'll have to pay...
[Karen]
She'll have to pay...
[Ivy]
But not today
[Karen]
But not today
[Both]
Then she'll do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions
Who look from afar
I'm what you've been needing
It's all here
And my heart's pleading
Let me be your star!
