The Mamas & The Papas - People Like Us

I Wanna Be a Star

She wants to be onstage, front page
I'll sign the dotted line
You know, I'm gonna shine
She just needs that big break
That great take
To start my new career
You'll see that I'm sincere
And I won't blow it

Uh, Mister Director
Please
Don't reject her 'til you've heard her read
For the lead
In your new production

Mister Producer
Please
Don't seduce her 'til you've heard her sing
And everything
In your new production
She got to be hot stuff, real tough

I wanna be photographed
Asked for my autograph
I don't want to keep house
For a spouse
I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'd much rather be the girl
Need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
