You didn't need to audition
to win the role
your smile knocked the competition
straight out of the game
you knew you had won the part
of my leading man

One thing about actresses
they are a ruthless bunch
I should have known it wouldn't
be so easy to rehearse
our love scenes backstage
without serious cat fights erupting.
But love is the director running this show
and we are the cast
taking stage direction.

Here she comes again
trying to upstage me
somebody needs to tell her
that there can only be one
star of this show
and she is not it.

So, here I am rehearsing
the role I'll play in your life
wondering if I have what it takes
to be the leading lady in your heart.
