You want to be an actress
And step down on the stage
You are going to the school - Juilliard
To learn how to strut so high and proud
Make ?em stand up and notice
That you are not afraid
I believe in you
And I believe you'll have it made
I cut out my heart and nail it away
Save it for your summer holiday
You'll forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
And the rich boys come to play
Up on Avenue 'A'
You've got your reasons
And I've got mine
I'll nail your cards and letters to the wall
To remind me that you are still out there
Because I won't know the girl on the screen at all
