[Verse 1]
There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to
Be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live her dreams
That what went down was gonna come around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Verse 2]
Armed with an attitude
That she knows how to use
She's gonna get there anyway she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back
[Pre-Chorus 2]
For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll know that you were wrong
Who would've known?

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Bridge]
Life is a work of art
You gotta paint it colorful
You can make it anything you want
Don't ever stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Doubters, non-believers
Once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Outro]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
