It Ain't What You Think It Is

I'm just a girl
But I see ya when that's all it is on MTV
And that's just what you know
I'm just a girl
Who knows the reality
Isn't what you see on a TV show

It's lights, camera, action
It's just fiction, new premise

It ain't what you think it is
I'm not that kid
And the streets ain't paved with gold
It ain't what you think it is
No, it's time to let it go
But you know what?
It ain't what you think it is

Yeah, I'm that girl
With a boyfriend you all love to hate
But I know I'm not ever letting go
And I'm that girl
Who tries so hard to escape
What you think is so real
But you just don't know

It's lights, camera, action
It's just fiction, new premise

It ain't what you think it is
I'm not that kid
And the streets ain't paved with gold
It ain't what you think it is
No, it's time to let it go
But you know what?
It ain't what you think it is

Just 'cause you saw it on your
Doesn't make it real
(But you know what? It ain't what you think it is)
Just 'cause you watch it on your
Doesn't make it true
(But you know what? It ain't what you think it is)
(It ain't what you think it is)
(It ain't what you think it is)

It ain't what you think it is
I'm not that kid
And the streets ain't paved with gold
It ain't what you think it is
No, it's time to let it go
But you know what?
It ain't what you think it is

But you know what?
(It ain't what you think it is)
(It ain't what you think it is)
But you know what?
(It ain't what you think it is)
(It ain't what you think it is)
