[Verse 1]
There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to
Be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live her dreams
That what went down was gonna come around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Verse 2]
Armed with an attitude
That she knows how to use
She's gonna get there anyway she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back

[Pre-Chorus 2]
For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll know that you were wrong
Who would've known?

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Bridge]
Life is a work of art
You gotta paint it colorful
You can make it anything you want
Don't ever stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Doubters, non-believers
Once were dreamers
One of these days, you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back, and you won't believe
That girl was me

[Outro]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough, everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. Lindsay entered the world of show business at the tender age of three as a Ford model, which led to several television commercials. She did more television work as she grew up, including Disney Channel movies. Lindsay’s Disney connection, which included starring as the twins in a remake of The Parent Trap, continued into her teens and helped her expand her career into along with co-starring with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003’s Freaky Friday, she also performed the movie’s closing song, “Ultimate”. The following year, Lindsay starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and contributed four songs to its soundtrack.

Buoyed by these successes as well as her starring role in Mean Girls, Lindsay hosted the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and won an award for Female Breakout Star. She also signed to Tommy Mottola’s Casablanca Records, releasing an aptly-titled lead single “Rumors” to her debut album, Speak, in December of 2004, with the full-length receiving a Platinum certification in the United States. The next year saw celebrity start to catch up with Lindsay after she become the ultimate Hollywood tabloid magnet. While she continued her relationship with Disney, filming a remake of Fully Loaded, Internet and tabloid rumors spread about everything from her health and love life to her late-night party habits.

By the end of 2005, Lindsay’s persona as the wild and damaged teen siren – whatever its ratio of truth to fiction – had outshone her accomplishments as an actress and a singer. And it was into this caustic tabloid climate that she released her Gold-certified second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), which featured “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)” – a letter to her father addressing his alcoholism and domestic abuse. Later that year, Lindsay was switched from Casablanca to Motown Records by Universal Music Group. Though she focused more on her film career in 2006 and 2007 (co-starring with the likes of Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda) and continued to have a swirl of tabloid attention and media controversy around her, she planned work on a third album that never materialized, releasing a single “Bossy” produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate in 2008, which topped the US Dance chart.
