Just a Little More Rewriting

I've confirmed our next two "Spotlight Band" rehearsals (one of which is tomorrow) and now I need to make sure that I'm good to go!

I've been sitting on my song for a couple of weeks now since our last rehearsal, and now it's time to firm up the changes that I've made to my song. I had to add two four-line verses at the top of the song, as well as add two more lines to the bridge. Everything else in between needed a bit of tweaking, but I think I've gotten it right... or almost right.

Here's what I'm going in with tomorrow...

Ever since I was a little girl
No one doubted I could dream,
Of being someone big some day
Ten feet tall on the silver screen

Playing in my room alone
I would dress in my mother's clothes
Decked myself out in high heels
And in her pantyhose

Everywhere I went I knew just
how to make a scene
And if I didn't get what I wanted
I had no choice but to scream

Then I'd sit and cry and cry
In the mirror for an hour or three
You might think that was a waste of time
but not for this drama queen

Chorus:

Because I just wanted to be a little bit famous
(I could taste it in my tears)
Yeah I just wanted to be a little bit famous
(I cried for my own entertainment)

I grew up an only child
In a smaller family
I had a captive audience
All the attention was on me

I would sing at any chance
That would come my way
I even wrote a little Oscar speech
So I'd be ready for that day


Chorus:

Because I just wanted to be a little bit famous
(singing in the living room)
Yeah I just wanted to be a little bit famous
(I still feel I grew up a little too soon)


Now I'm grown and I still wanna see my full name up in lights,
Although it would be fine by me if the marquis is not that bright

And if you recognize me while I'm walking down the road,
That's totally cool by me, just don't follow me home

Chorus:

Because I just wanna be a little bit famous
(I no longer want super fame)
Yeah I just wanna be a little bit famous
It's cool if you vaguely know my name)

I just wanna be a little bit famous
(I an take on any role)
I just wanna be a little bit famous
(Without losing complete control)

I'm Britney!
I just wanna be hit one more time Baby,

I'm Shakira!
I just wanna see underneath of what you're wearing

I'm Alannis!
I just wanna see if you are a Zombie

I'm Cher!
I just wanna Believe in life after love after love after love after love

Chorus:

I just wanna be a little bit famous
(I can sing in any voice)
I just wanna be a little bit famous
(I just wanna have the choice)
to be me.
