Girl in the Movies - from the Dumplin' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Popcorn, soda, box of Raisinets
 Velvet-cushioned seats and soft armrests
 Best seat in my favorite movie house
 Start my dreaming as the lights go out
 Up on the silver screen, I picture me
 Living out my passions, hopes, and fantasies
 I want to be the girl in the movies
 The one with the glint in her eyes
 The girl that seldom loses
 Beautiful, with grace and style
 Acting out her story
 Standing in her glory
 Happy ever after
 I want to the girl in the movies
 Wish I had a nickel for each dime I've spent
 Watching others live their lives with confidence
 Here's a preview of some things to come
 It's not too late for me to be someone
 I can't keep living in their make believe
 Coming attractions will be starring me
 I want to be the girl in the movies
 The one with the stars in her eyes
 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
 I want to be that girl
 I want to be the girl in the movies
 Hmmmm
 I want to be the girl in the movies
 Hmmm
 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
 I want to be
 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 shine
 I want to shine
 It's my time
 I want to shine
 I want to be happy, I want to be free
 Just like that girl in the movies
