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
I'm what you've been needing
It's all here and my pleading

Let me be your star!
