So life is different than what they show us on TV
Do dreams come true for everyone or just for Barbie
And Iâ??ve been waiting here so very patiently
Well itâ??s been so long itâ??s been too long
I wonder whatâ??s wrong with me
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cos Iâ??m 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 theyâ??re so thin and pretty
They must be nice people cos theyâ??re on 90210
In TV land

I wish I looked like all the nice actors on TV
Sometimes youâ??ve got to choose between real
And plastic surgery
Just like the people on the television screen
Barbieâ??s not a role model sheâ??s only make believe
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cos Iâ??m a real live girl

I wanna live in TV land and be one of Charlieâ??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
Itâ??s all about us real live girls
In TV land
