My Songs

The Girl In The Lights

Verse 1 (H)

I sit on the couch on a Friday night,

Sitting wondering where I’m gonna be in five years,

Am I gonna be famous, am I gonna be in love, am I gonna be a mother?

Sitting on the couch I wonder if I’m gonna be The Girl In The Lights,

Verse 2 (M)

I listen to the screaming down the hall of my parents,

Sitting on my bed I hear knocking at my door,

Quickly as it opens it closes,

I see my little sister with tears running down her face,

She cries and says: ‘Why can’t you be The Girl In The Lights? So mummy and daddy will stop their fighting!’

Chorus (B)

As we go through all our troubles,

We realise what we have lost,

I’ve lost all my sense and pride,

I’ve lost my parents,

And we ask ourselves,

Why can’t I be The Girl In The Lights?

Verse 3 (H)

I pack my bags and grab my car keys,

I walk out the front door and go to the airport and catch flight to Hollywood,

I hope only to have my dreams come true,

Singing up on a stage with a band and fans in the crowd,

I wanna be The Girl In The Lights,

Verse 4 (M)

I open up my door and yell down the hall,

Screaming ‘Shut the hell up! Don’t you see how you’re ruining your children!’

I grab my little sister and my car keys too,

We run out the door to my car and we go to the airport to fly to Hollywood,

I wanna make it to being The Girl In Lights with my little sister,

Chorus (B)

As we go through all our troubles,

We realise what we have lost,

I’ve lost all my sense and pride,

I’ve lost my parents,

And we ask ourselves,

Why can’t I be The Girl In The Lights?

Bridge (H)

Up on stage,

Singing my dreams through,

Then I see my friend in the crowd,

Her little sisters crying,

Tears swell up in her eyes,

She’s screaming to me and she says:

(M)

Let me be with you,

Up on stage,

Help me and my little sister,

Our parents let us go,

I want to be The Girl In The Lights,

Share the stage my friend,

Let me be with you The Girl In The Lights.

Verse 1 (H)

I sit on the couch on a Friday night,

Sitting wondering where I’m gonna be in five years,

Am I gonna be famous, am I gonna be in love, am I gonna be a mother?

Sitting on the couch I wonder if I’m gonna be The Girl In The Lights,

Verse 2 (M)

I listen to the screaming down the hall of my parents,

Sitting on my bed I hear knocking at my door,

Quickly as it opens it closes,

She cries and says: ‘Why can’t you be The Girl In The Lights? So mummy and daddy will stop their fighting!’

Chorus (B)

As we go through all our troubles,

We realise what we have lost,

I’ve lost all my sense and pride,

I’ve lost my parents,

And we ask ourselves,

Why can’t I be The Girl In The Lights?

The Girl In The Lights

The Girl In The Lights,

The Girl In The Lights.
