Went in for the audition, it was my dream role
Memorized the lines too, just as I was told
Room full of girls who look like me with brown eyes, you got a type
So I guess I shouldn't be surprised
You'd think with all the flowers, I'd be satisfied
But maybe in the dozens I know I'll feel right
All the standing ovations, all the praise in the world
But I'll never be your perfect girl
(Oh) oh God, what if I become
I'll do anything for love?
And you say I'm the only one, no one you've been of dreaming of
But I'm just an actor, acting out your fantasy
I'll be whatevеr you want me to be
I'll read thе script, I'll get it right
I'll make you laugh until you cry
Then lie 'cause the truth hurts
You say you love me, you just love an actor
Ah-ah-ah (ah), mm-mm-mm (mm-mm)
You say you love me, you just love
The act, I think it's gone too far, and I should let it go
But you tell me that I'm beautiful, don't care if it's for show
Am I only interesting when I am someone else?
Now I don't even know myself
(Oh) oh God, what if I become
I'll do anything for love?
And you say I'm the only one, no one you've been of dreaming of
But I'm just an actor, acting out your fantasy
I'll be whatever you want me to be
I'll read the script, I'll get it right
I'll make you laugh until you cry
Then lie 'cause the truth hurts
You say you love me, you just love-
I should find someone who loves me for me
I'll keep pretending, just call me pretty
I love your stare when I put on a show
Bet that you don't know, you don't know
An actor, acting out your fantasy
I'll be whatever you want me to be
I'll read the script, I'll get it right
I'll make you laugh until you cry
Then lie 'cause the truth hurts
You say you love me, you just love an actor
