Tom Cochrane - Avenue 'a' lyrics

You want to be an actress And step down on the stage You are going to the school Julliard To learn how to strut so high and proud Make me stand up and notice That you are not afraid I believe in you And I believe you'll have it made I cut out my heart And nail it away Save it for your summer holiday You'll forget about me When your name is on the marquee And the rich boys come out to play Upon Avenue "A" You've got your reasons And I've got mine I'll nail your cards and letter on the wall To remind me that you are still out there Because I won't know the girl on the screen at all Cut out my heart And nail it away And save it for your summer holiday You'll forget about me When your name is on the marquee And your up on Avenue "A" Cut out my heart And nail it away And save it for your summer holiday Teach them how to laugh and feel When they put you to the test For there is something special in you That you must express Don't forget about me When your name is on the marquee And the rich men come to stay Up on Avenue "A" Up on Avenue "A"
