Actress Model...
Unwritten Law Lyrics

Dear Mom
The singer starts the song by telling his mother about his new girlfriend, an actress.

I'm dating an actress
He is in a relationship with an actress.

And I'm just writing to let you know
He tells his mother that he is writing to let her know about his girlfriend.

Why I'm so far from home
He is away from home because he has been following his girlfriend, who is pursuing a career in acting.

I followed her to Stella Adler
He followed his girlfriend to a method acting school called Stella Adler, which she wanted to attend.

A method man was what she was after
She wanted to be trained by a method acting teacher at Stella Adler.

She musta seen them on TV
She must have seen performances by method actors on TV, which inspired her to become one herself.

She's my Actress, model, dancer, whatever
The artist is attracted to her because of her multiple talents as an actress, model and dancer.

I've been watching you
He has been admiring and observing her from afar.

I've been wanting you
He has been desiring her for a long time.

Actress, model, dancer, whatever
He reiterates his attraction to her multiple talents.

You're so over there
She is a distant figure, perhaps because of her beauty or her career as an actress.

You're so everywhere
She is a popular figure, probably because of her status as an actress, model and dancer.

I met her over a cigarette
He met her for the first time while smoking a cigarette.

And though I don't really know her yet
He acknowledges that he does not know her well enough yet.

I could see
He believes that he can see something in her.

She sees something in me
He believes that she is also interested in him for some reason.

A thousand bucks won't pay the rent
He is struggling with his finances.

And I know where the money's spent
He knows that he is spending his money on following his girlfriend to acting classes and auditions.

But it shows, Lord
His financial struggle is apparent.

'cause nothing's free
He is constantly spending money on his girlfriend and his acting career.

She made a promise
His girlfriend made a promise to him.

She'd never act with me now
She promised that she would never act opposite him in a play or movie.

But I saw her move her lips
He saw her mouthing lines from a script.

They were reading scripts
She was probably rehearsing for an acting role.

Line please
She was probably rehearsing her lines and asked for someone to give her the next line during the scene.

Dear Mom
The singer ends the song by repeating his opening line, as if to tell his mother once again about his life.

Now, I'm an actor, too
He has also decided to pursue a career in acting, now that he is in a relationship with an actress.
