Act Naturally [Original 1965 Stereo Mix] [Version] Lyrics
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And beggin' down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
And beggin' down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally

It's a bitter remark on filmmakers on interviewers telling them to "act naturally." The song basically means, "If you want me to act naturally, what I'm really like is a lonely man and a big fool." Other sections of the lyrics are about this innocent person who thinks he's going to be a movie star, but the filmmakers are actually making fun of him, portraying him as a fool, and considering him one already without having to act.
