Turns out Hollywood is ugly
They say I'm too Disney and honestly if I were them I probably would agree
Cus' my skirt ain't short enough
My standards are too high
I guess I won't fit in but I'll come back next time
Is that what I gotta do to be chosen by you?
Well who made you the judges?
Was it just in the budget?
You can keep the prize take me off the list cus' I know what I got it ain't no overnight purpose
I'll still know my name if it's never up in lights
Might not hear this on the radio but maybe that's alright
What good is fame or fortune if it keeps you up at night?
If I can't save the world well at least I know I tried and I sang like there's souls on the line
Well here we are again this old fork in the road
Sign the dotted line or figure it out on your own
An offer or a threat?
Well I guess I'm gonna know
Cus' at the end of any day it's me I'm taking home
I'll still know my name if it's never up in lights
Might not hear this on the radio but maybe that's alright
What good is fame or fortune if it keeps you up at night?
If I can't save the world well at least I know I tried and I sang like there's souls on the line
Well no one has to understand me
I'm here with or without the Grammy and even if it all comes crashing down
At least I didn't sell out
Cus I'll still know my name if it's never up in lights
Might not hear me on the radio but maybe give it time
What good is fame or fortune if I can't sleep at night?
If I can't save the world God knows I'm gonna try (I'm gonna try) like my souls on the line
Mmm
God knows I'm gonna try
Yeah ooh
