Lyrics[]
Woo! Here we go everybody!
Come on
You get the limo out front
Hottest styles, every shoe, every color
Yeah when you're famous it can be kinda fun
Its really you but no one ever discovers
Who would of thought that a girl like me
Would double as a superstar
Woo!
You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together 'cause you know
You've got the best of both worlds
Oh yeah
Come on
You get the limo out front
Hottest styles, every shoe, every color
Yeah when you're famous it can be kind of fun
Its really you but no one ever discovers
In some ways, you're just like all your friends
But on stage, you're a star
You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best of both worlds
The best of both worlds (Yeah!)
You go the movie premieres (is that Orlando Bloom?)
Hear your songs on the radio
Livin' two lives is a little weird (yeah)
But school's cool 'cause nobody knows
Yeah you get to be a small town girl
But big time when you play your guitar
You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best of both
You know the best of both worlds
Pictures and autographs
You get your face in all the magazines
The best parts that
You get to be whoever you wanna be
Best! Best!
Yeah best of both
Best! Best!
You get the best of both
Best! Best!
Come on, the best of both
Who would of thought that a girl like me
Would double as a superstar... Woooh!
You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best
You get the best of both worlds
Without the shades and the hair
You can go anywhere
You get the best of both girls
Mix it all together
Oh yeah
It's so much better
'Cause you know you've got the best of both worlds
