Original (SMASH Cast Version) [feat. Katharine McPhee] Songtext
von Smash Cast

Way back before she hit the scene
And she became the indie queen
She was a girl with nothing big to say
Her mouth was full of silver spoons
Singing her dime a dozen tunes
′Til she came up with something new to play
A girl so scarred, a pain so real
A life so hard, becomes a song you feel
Her tracks were leaked and all the hipsters freaked
She made herself a star
She wants, she wants, she wants to be original
She will, she will become something remarkable
Who cares, who cares, who cares what stunt she has to pull
She'll be remade as somebody original
Way back before the interviews
Before her music made the news
She was a nothing no one talked about
A mousy girl behind the mic
One more vanilla look-alike
′Til she decided to stand out


And now it's crazy clothes, a brand new name
A fixed up nose and monster fame
Though she might say that she was born this way
She made herself a star
She wants, she wants, she wants to be original
She will, she will become something remarkable
Who cares, who cares, who cares what stunt she has to pull
She'll be remade as somebody original
You can wipe away everything you are
Wake up tomorrow as a star
There was a girl who blended in
That was the way her life had been
′Til she decided to be someone else
She wants, she wants, she wants to be original
She will, she will become something remarkable
Who cares, who cares, who cares what stunt she has to pull
She′ll be remade as somebody original
Somebody original
Somebody original
Somebody original
