Lyrics

Theatre

I rehearse a work of theatre for you Come alive I'll play dead tonight, I'll remember each line Go again, I won't mind, I would fake it every time I could stop pretending, quit my dreaming and Turn on the lights I am holding on to Every word I made up for you I'm not flesh, I'm not blood I am plastic, you are gold I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved Like right out of a movie where I sweep you up I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved Like right out of a movie where I am the star Yes, I'll be the star I'll put on a show and watch it with you Touch my thigh I could blush, I'm so shy, rest your head on my side We could stay in my mind, we could be what we like I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved Like right out of a movie where I sweep you up I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved Call me "Baby" When you forget my name, I'm just glad that you came Call me "Baby" Let me die on the stage, let the orchestra play Let the orchestra play
