Marc Shaiman - Let Me Be Your Star lyrics

[Ivy:] So another man says that he can't compete That he can't love a moving target [Karen:] So another affair gets an incomplete Well, it's time to adjust my plan [Ivy:] Cause when I'm up there [Karen:] ...on the silver screen [Both:] I can make the whole world want Norma Jeane [Ivy:] So, I can't have the love of a single man [Karen:] But a million or more, well... [Both:] That I can [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 Jeane'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:] Flashback 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:] She'll do all she can For the love of one man And for millions who look from afar And what you've been needing Is all here and my heart's pleading... Let me be your star!
