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
