Intro

/ x2

 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."

 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.

 I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before,

 Forget what used to be.

 The past is on the cutting room floor,

 The future is here with me.

 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

 She'll have to pay

(She'll have to pay)

 But not today

(But not today)

 Then 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!
