lyrics

Bright lights shines in her eyes
her temperature's risin'
she's a small-town girl with big dreams
and nothing is stopping
stardom is what she wants
and everybody knows
she wants what she sees on those magazines
but she wants more
so she packed her bags
and she ain't lookin back
she wants to go to hollywood
she packed her bags for hollywood
those lights seem oh so good
but that's the trick of hollywood
welcome to the city of broken dreams
where people live in a world of make-believe
she thought she could make it
'cause she was nice on the eyes
but no-one had a chance to warn her
about those snakes in disguise
he promised her fortune
and dropped a few big names
but on his mind
is just one thing
he got what he want
plus all her money
oh, this is real
this aint funny
welcome to hollywood
welcome to hollywood
they just want the fortune (FORTUNE)
fame (FAME)
Hollywood
she packed her bags for Hollywood
those lights seem oh so good
but that's the trick of hollywood
See the truth is
what you see on the movie screen
aint real
and around here
no-one gives two cents about how you feel
Lights, camera, action
that's the main attraction
of Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
