lyrics

Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.

My girl has a dream - she's a hot pin-up queen, but her dreams are just never enough,
'Cos she wants to be everything that she's seen in the films that she watched growing up,

But I tell her:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.

Now, she loves a romance, but we only slow dance in my bedroom to the tune of a hum.
I'd give my girl both the moon and the world if it hadn't already been done.

She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,

But I tell her, I say:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.

She's got it all planned - her house and her Mustang - My girl's got expensive taste,
Now life's not a movie but she could have fooled me, my girl will never change.

She wants to have it all, but I tell her I say:

Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
