YOUNG BONNIE: I can see me, I can see me Living just like Clara Sipping champagne, can't you see me In the middle of a dance floor
That could be me, that could be me Doing things like Clara Flirting madly, looking dreamy These are things you take a chance for
It must be great to be called the "it" girl Your face on every magazine That's where I'm gonna end up one day Trust me
I wanna be her, I wanna be her Dressed in style like Clara I can see me, can you see me The main attraction at the picture show Like Clara Bow Like Clara...
YOUNG CLYDE: I wanna live the life of an outlaw I'm gonna be like Billy the Kid And when the law has got me surrounded, no doubt I'm gonna shoot my way out
There weren't a man alive to outdraw him No bar room bully could stand a chance He had the looks that everyone goes for, me too Billy I want to be you
Bang bang, you're dead Bang bang, you're dead Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun
YOUNG BONNIE: I'll be ready, I'll be ready When I switch to Clara Riding horses, going steady With a guy who owns a jazz bar
YOUNG CLYDE: I'm gonna make a whole lot of money I won't count cents like my ma and pa I will wear Sunday clothes on a Tuesday, someday No one will stand in my way
YOUNG BONNIE: They say when you're a star in the movies You get to keep the clothes you wear Big stars make thirty dollars a week Jesus!
I wanna be her, I wanna be her Dressed in style like Clara
BONNIE: I can see me, can you see me The main attraction at the picture show Like Clara Bow Like Clara Bow The main attraction at the picture show
YOUNG CLYDE: Bang bang, you're dead
CLYDE: Bang bang, you're dead Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun

BONNIE/CLYDE (overlapping): It must be great to be called the "it" girl That isn't what they're calling me But one day soon I bet you they will Trust me I wanna be her, I wanna be her Dressed in style like Clara I can see me, can you see me The main attraction at the picture show Like Clara Bow Like Clara Bow The main attraction Clara Bow
