Brandy Clark

Soap Opera

Ain't we all the stars

Ain't we all the stars

Playing the leading part

In our own soap opera

Sherry shampooed 'til she got her own chair

Now she's playing shrink to every head of hair

A mani or a pedi or color or a cut

8 hours a day, it's the same old stuff

They got trouble with their ex and his next wife

Sands through the hourglass, days of our lives

Ain't we all the stars

Ain't we all the stars

Playing the leading part

In a day time drama

Young and restless hearts

Duckin' and throwing darts

Yeah we're all big stars

In our own soap opera

Jimmy wipes down the bar, makes a mean martini

They tip it on back and give him the skinny

Shaken or stirred or a bottle or a draft

They're bearing their souls to bottom of the glass

They got trouble with their girl and their girlfriend's mama

This one life to live got a whole lotta drama

Ain't we all the stars

Ain't we all the stars

Playing the leading part

In a day time drama

Young and restless hearts

Duckin' and throwing darts

Yeah we're all big stars

In our own soap opera

Yeah, yeah

This town might be little bitty

But just ask Sherry or Jimmy

If Hollywood was handing out Emmys

We'd all be saying gimme, gimme, gimme
