| She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick
|
| She used to play with the melodies and beats and the words
|
| She would come in singing things that no one had heard
|
| As a child, she was always pretty bright
|
| Never bitching with the girls or getting into fights
|
| There was something in her head and there was something in her mind
|
| There was something going around and there was something burning bright
|
| This don’t matter to me
|
| Soon I’ll be on TV
|
| And I won’t have to dream no more
|
| This ain’t got nothing on me
|
| Soon I’ll be VIP
|
| I’ll be making money, being a G, going properly
|
| Teachers used to say, «What do you want to be?»
|
| As soon as she says, «Singer», they all look at her blankly
|
| Like darling, darling, you need to have a backup plan
|
| «Like what?», She said, «Working in Matalan?»
|
| Well, quite frankly, Miss
|
| I’ve already applied with the other thousand applicants standing in the line but
|
| That ain’t my calling, I’m tired of your warning cos' I won’t be falling
|
| So move over darling
|
| This don’t matter to me
|
| Soon I’ll be on TV
|
| And I won’t have to dream no more
|
| This ain’t got nothing on me
|
| Soon I’ll be VIP
|
| I’ll be making money, being a G, going properly
|
| Now she’s grown, she’s all alone with
|
| Two kids screaming on the phone is
|
| Landlord calling for his rent but
|
| She’s still stalking cos' she can’t pay again and
|
| Yes, she’s going to court today
|
| For the dress she stole away
|
| It was for a big audition
|
| Oh my, she’s on a mission to show the teachers and the guys
|
| She made something of her life
|
| There’s something in her head
|
| There’s something in her mind
|
| There’s something going around
|
| There’s something burning bright
|
| This don’t matter to me
|
| Soon I’ll be on TV
|
| And I won’t have to dream no more
|
| This ain’t got nothing on me
|
| Soon I’ll be VIP
|
| I’ll be making money, being a G
|
| But it don’t come free |
