The Actress (Goldie Boutilier)

 

##          ##          ##

Treat me like a toy

to grope or kiss

You can tell me when to stand - 

when to stand or sit

You can ask me for permission 

or forgiveness

You can take me out to show me off 

and buy me gifts

Show me my mark, it’s one I’ll hit

You can make me up, 

just to wipe it off my lips

You can tell me what to say

Cause you wrote the script

Go on tell me what to say

Cause you wrote it..

##          ##          ##

I am the actress

And this is a movie

So what you’re doing to her

You’re not doing to me

I am so glamorous

Someone should sue me

I am the actress

And you’re in my.. 

Movie..

##          ##          ##

You can treat me like a boy

Tell me toughen up

You can call me the man - 

til you say cut

I’ll react like a cat on a hot tin roof

I can laugh on command

I’d be honored to

I’ll be waiting in your office

just to get my check

You’ll be smoking your cigar

like it’s not phallic

Hollywood Boulevard’s got a star for me

A Grammy and an Oscar and a Tony

##          ##          ## 

I am the actress

And this is a movie

So what you’re doing to her

You’re not doing to me

I am so glamorous

Someone should sue me

I am the actress

And you’re in my..

Movie..
