So life is different than what they show us on TV
Do dreams come true for everyone or just for Barbie
And I've been waiting her so very patiently
Well it's been so long it's been too long
I wonder what's wrong with me
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl
Chorus
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 they're so thin and pretty
They must be nice people cause they're on 90210 in TV land
I wish I looked like all the nice actors on TV
Sometimes you've got to choose between real and plastic surgery
Just like the people on the television screen
Barbie's not a role model she's only make-believe
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl
Chorus 2
I wanna live in TV land and be one of Charlie's 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 it's about us real live girls in TV land
