Actress, Model... Lyrics

Dear Mom
I'm dating an actress
And I'm just writing to let you know
Why I'm so far from home
I followed her to Stella Adler
A method man was what she was after
She must have seen them on TV

She's my actress model dancer whatever
I've been watching you
I've been wanting you
Actress model dancer whatever
You're so over there
You're so everywhere

I met her over a cigarette
And though I don't really know her yet
I could see she sees something in me
A thousand bucks won't pay the rent
And I don't know where the money's spent
But it shows Lord cause nothing's free

She's my actress model dancer whatever
I've been watching you
I've been wanting you
Actress model dancer whatever
You're so over there
You're so everywhere

She made a promise
she'd never act with me now
But I saw her move her lips
They were reading scripts
She made a promise
she'd never act with me now
And I saw her move her lips
Line please line please

Dear Mom
I'm dating an actress
And I'm just writing to let you know who who
Actress model dancer whatever
I've been watching you
I've been wanting you
Actress model dancer whatever
You're so over there
You're so everywhere
Dear Mom
I'm dating an actress
Dear Mom
I'm dating an actress
Now I'm an actor too

But I saw her move her lips
They were reading scripts
She made a promise

Line please line please

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

At first, I thought this was just a normal "I'm dating this actress, and now I've used her to be an actor as well" - (hence the last line)..

But then I realised in "she made a promise she'd never act with me" meaning that she's totally playing him and in "now Im an actor too" means that he's playing her back.

Beautiful song though.. rawkz my sox!!

I love this song. I've only heard Elva but I wanna see if the other CDs Unwritten Law are as fun to listen to. This is a great song. It seems to me that he's telling everyone that he's made it and is dating a beautiful girl. However, he never know if she's being real or fake and after a while, at the he says "Dear Mom I'm dating an actress Now I'm an actor too." So he might feel like he's starting to play that game too. I dunno...thats just what it sounds like to me. Unwritten Law is awesome.

i love this song, and especially the break right after the bridge where it silent for a second...a lot of bands never do that, but i like it..they do it in 418 too. altho its a total pop song, i love it too pieces, and i think only chicks like it. oh well
