Soap Opera Lyrics - Singles - Brandy Clark

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 

Eight 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 daytime 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 baring their souls to the 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 daytime 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
