Wouldnt it be super, If there was a superman, If just like Rhett and Scarlet, We didnt give a damn, And everything would happen, Exactly as we planned,
Like in the movies,
Our lives would be the kind, That everybody would admire, We could re-shoot every scene, That didnt meet with our desire, And just a sultry look, Could turn the coldest heart to fire.
Like in the movies,
If things went wrong then we could have, Them written out the script, We wouldnt put on weight, If we ate cake and chocolate chip, And there would always be a stuntman, On hand on hand in case we slip,
Like in the movies
Where youth would bloom eternal, And our beauty never fade, The things we really love, Could be repeated and replayed, And we could edit out the scenes, That hold mistakes that we had made,
Like in the movies,
But life is not a movie, Its a struggle to survive, Theres no best actor nominations, When the tears flow from your eyes, And no-one wins an Oscar, For this drama we call life,
Like in the movies,
Theres no-one waiting in the wings, To cover your mistakes, No stuntmen to take over, When your hearts about to break, Or choreographer mapping out, Each step that you should take,
Like in the movies,
But wouldnt it be wonderful, If Wonder Woman lived, If everything you wanted, Was within my power to give, And the script could be rewritten, To end when you forgive,
Like in the movies,
I wish that happy endings, Really did exist, Its seldom that a movie, Will ever end like this, They all have happy endings, And a lingering lovers kiss,
In the movies,
Not at midnight in the forest, With a rope tied to a tree, Wishing I could change the way, That things turned out to be, And wondering if theyll ever make, A screenplay out of me,
For the movies.
