I was sixteen going twenty-two
If you knew me then, I probably lied to you
Boys didn't ask for my ID
So hell, I said that I was eighteen

Left high school, I got no straight A's
Packed my bags right up got out of that place
Moved to LA with no parents
Thought the world would fall right in my hands

But life's not like the movies (Movies, movies)
Boys aren't what they should be (Should be, should be)
Girls are cruel and they're mean
You're probably not the prom queen
Life's not like the movies (Movies, movies)

Met a nice guy
Thought he would be the onе
‘Till I spent the night
And it was one and donе
Never set your standards too high
‘Cause you're gonna get let down every time

Perfect plot-twist
We’re kissing in the rain
Then your phone rings and it's her again
Saying that she's crazy
And she doesn't mean a thing
This ain't a movie, there ain't no happy endings

But life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies)
Boys aren’t what they should be (Should be, should be)
Girls are cruel and they’re mean
You’re probably not the prom queen
Life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies)

Couple months are right around here
Love of my life was still not found yet
And I won’t begin to mention
My best friend didn’t show up on my birthday
Didn’t like when I got attention
So fuck my ex bestfriend

But life’s not like the movies
Boys can’t be sweet as candy
We’re still young and we’re free
Don’t have to be the prom queen
(Life’s not like the movies)

But life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies)
Boys aren't what they should be (Should be, should be)
Girls are cruel and they're mean
You're probably not the prom queen
Life's not like the movies (Movies, movies)
