I DON'T BUY THE LINES
IN MAGAZINES
THAT TELL ME
WHAT I'VE GOT TO BE
I DON'T BASE MY LIFE
ON A MOVIE SCREEN
I DON'T FIT THE MOLD
SOCIETY
HAS PLANNED
I DON'T NEED TO BE
NINETEEN YEARS OLD
OR STARVE MYSELF
FOR SOME WEIGHT
I'M TOLD
OR TURN MEN'S HEADS
DOWN THAT ROAD
AND I THANK GOD
I FINALLY KNOW
JUST WHO I AM
I AIN'T A MOVIE STAR
MEN NEVER SEE
THE VIEW
FROM WHERE THEY ARE
AND THIS OLD TOWN
MAY BE AS FAR
AS I'M GOING
AND WHAT HE'LL HOLD
TONIGHT
IN HIS HANDS
HE SWEARS
IT'S SO MUCH
BETTER THAN
ANYTHING
THAT THIS OLD WORLD
CAN SHOW HIM
I'M A REAL LIVE WOMAN
IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN
I SEE LYING HERE
NEXT TO ME
LOST IN THE WAY
THAT HE'S HOLDING
THIS REAL LIVE WOMAN
IN THE ARMS OF A MAN
WHERE I'LL FALL ASLEEP
KNOWIN' THERE'S
NOTHIN' ON EARTH
HE LOVES MORE THAN
THIS REAL LIVE WOMAN
I WORK NINE TO FIVE
AND I CAN'T RELATE
TO MILLIONAIRES
SOMEHOW FATE
HAS SMILED UPON
AND FORTUNE MADE
THEIR
COMMON LIVES
A BETTER PLACE TO BE
AND I NO LONGER
JUSTIFY
REASONS FOR THE WAY
THAT I BEHAVE
I OFFER NO APOLOGIES
FOR THE THINGS
THAT I BELIEVE
AND SAY
AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY
'CAUSE I'M A REAL
LIVE WOMAN
IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN
I SEE LYING HERE
NEXT TO ME
LOST IN THE WAY
THAT HE'S HOLDING
THIS REAL LIVE WOMAN
IN THE ARMS
OF THE MAN
WHERE I'LL FALL ASLEEP
KNOWIN' THERE'S
NOTHIN' ON EARTH
HE LOVES MORE THAN
THIS REAL LIVE WOMAN
