So life is different than what they show us on TV

Do dreams come true for everyone or just for Barbie

And Ive been waiting here so very patiently

Well its been so long its been too long

I wonder whats wrong with me

I wanna know how to live in the real world

I wanna know cos Im a real live girl



I wanna live in TV land with Mr T and the A-team

My problems they could solve before the end of the show

I wanna live in TV land where theyre so thin and pretty

They must be nice people cos theyre on 90210

In TV land



I wish I looked like all the nice actors on TV

Sometimes youve got to choose between real

And plastic surgery

Just like the people on the television screen

Barbies not a role model shes only make believe

I wanna know how to live in the real world

I wanna know cos Im a real live girl



I wanna live in TV land and be one of Charlies angels

It must be fun to fight crime and have new clothes

For every show

I wanna live in TV land like Samantha or Dream of Jeannie

My problems I could solve by wrinkling my nose

In TV land



I wanna live in TV land we can change the world

Through the TV show

All kinds of people like we have in the real world

I wanna live in TV land make it safe to be ordinary

Gonna do my own show

Its all about us real live girls

In TV land
