Just Like Me & You (Betty Elms)

So, y'know, growing up in Los Angeles you see hundreds of thousands of people come here try to be an actor or actress, and I don't know, maybe one of them make it? And the thing is they don't tell people that they failed They come up with a whole story in their head -- people are only hired because they're related to someone, or this person held me down -- truth is, man, you just didn't make it [Verse 1] Do you remember Jean, senior year beauty queen? The head cheerleader, she was every guy's dream Come on, you remember, she's that chick from math class Long blonde hair, perfect face, banging ass Well I ran into her sister the other night at Nate's She moved to Hollywood, it seems she's doing great Cause three years ago she just started to pack She thought with looks like hers, North Dakota held her back She wants to act and with what she's got She's well on her way to be the next Naomi Watts She's got a little crib up on the Sunset Strip Her sister hasn't seen it but Jean says it's pretty sick Jean's really talented, I knew she'd go far She's our shitty town's only chance at making a star Remember in third grade when we were all shy? She'd always sing and dance, teddy bear right by her side Now she's got a manager who's some bigwig He's the dude that got Tobey that Spider-Man gig At first it was slow, then she caught a stride You know what they say: stardom takes time There's a club every night, she's happy she moved To the city of angels, Jean's gonna be huge [Hook] Cause Jean was a girl who was just like you Bright eyed, tongue tied, and cute as a button too But things didn't go exactly just like the plan But she's quick to tell you different so that you can understand Cause Jean was a girl who was just like me Ready for the fame so desperately While people at home like to repeat stories So we're quick to tell a lie for that moment of glory [Verse 2] She said she got some offers from magazine campaigns But she's waiting for the perfect role to catapult to fame Jean's still single and how lucky is this She goes on dates with celebrities, all they do is kiss Jean's really classy and treats her family well Whoever started that rumor should be ashamed of themselves What type of person questions her dad's loving? If he really did that don't you think she'd say something? Jean's happy that producers love her reel And I guess that they pretty close to signing a deal She's like Cameron Diaz but so much more She's Drew Barrymore vintage 1994 She's living out her dream while we all stay at home I said to send my love next time they talk on the phone She promised that she would next time that they speak But Jean's been really busy so it's been a few weeks And last conversation Jean talked about the past Probably cause the fame is approaching so fast She sounded really tired when she spoke to her dad Make sure they used the VCR she bought for the fam Then hung up the phone to film in her room She said it's for a TV pilot; I hope we see it soon [Hook] Because you gotta realize that all these people trying to act in Hollywood... I mean, their goal wasn't to wait tables at Cheesecake Factory They came here wanting to be the next superstar Now they just want to know if you want to supersize your meal Cause there's always two sides to every story: There's what they tell you, and there's the truth
