Don't mean nothing

Didn't I tell you to react not? And, don't worry, not only in Hollywood... lol :-x

Don't Mean Nothing lyrics
Richard Marx




Welcome to the big time. You're bound to be a star
And even if you don't go all the way, I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats,
(ratprincess: seems like I am in the wrong town... should have moved to California to do more of the brother in arms thing... 8-O lol)
It can turn you upside down
Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town
(Ratprincess: thank God at least now I know I have people I could count on...)
Oh, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart
(Ratprincess: delusions I have illusions I shall have not... the benefit of delusions I guess)

Chorus
Cause it don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
No it don't mean nothin'
These games that people play
No it don't mean nothin'
No victim, no crime
No it don't mean nothin'
Till you sign it on the dotted line

The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, "I love your work, babe
But you're just not what we're looking for"
It's never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that California snow, oh woh
Take a good look around and you'll find
People tryin' to mess with your mind

Repeat Chorus

Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
(Ratprincess: well, at least a winner... looking at the bright side of life... lol)
The party is never over
Cause the stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night

The producer says, "let me change a line or two
and a little bit of something can look awfully good to you"
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a living,
There ain't no such thing as pride, oh no
Lot of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart

Repeat Chorus

It don't mean nothing at all..
No victim, no crime
No it don't mean nothin'
Till you sign it on the dotted line
