Wrote this during the height of Cyndi Lauper craze. Would love to do a re-make of this and make a fun music video (with real actors) of it as well. (I’ve even got the storyboard finished). Any interested singers?

P.S…I’m also including this fun video clip. It’s mostly a bunch of still shots put together, but still fun to watch.

Year: 1985
Vocalist: Sue Duza

Oh I know you’ve seen her in those magazines

Standing 5 feet 10 with legs long and lean

Not a wrinkle on her body or a hair out of place

She’s a photographic queen with a legendary face


When I look into her eyes

That’s the time I realize


I wanna be like her someday

I wanna be like her someday

I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be a model


Well they say it’s work but to me it’s play

Putting on the clothes getting paid each day

No need to worry about the wrinkles on my face

A little touch of makeup and the wrinkles will erase

Time will tell, yeah they’ll all see

Just how famous I’ll be


I wanna be like her someday

I wanna be like her someday

I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be a model


While I’m sitting here in a secretary's chair

She goes out on a date with a millionaire


So I got my pictures and a resume

Went to the agencies to see what they’d say

“Don’t call us baby, we’ll call you”


Don’t they see or understand?

This ain’t the way I had it planned!

I wanna be like her someday

I wanna be like her someday

I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be a model
