Richard Marx Don't Mean Nothin'
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
It can turn you upside down
Ain't no one you can count on
in this sleazy little town
Oh, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart
(chorus)
Cause it don't mean nothin'
the words that they say
Don't mean nothin'
these games that people play
No it don't mean nothin'
no victim, no crime
It don't mean nothin'
till you sign it on that 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
Take a good look around
and you'll find
People tryin' to mess
with your mind
(chorus)
Hollywood can be so lonely
make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
cause 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, no
Lot of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart
(chorus)
(don't mean nothin')
(don't mean nothin')
It don't mean nothing at all...
(don't mean nothin')
(don't mean nothin')
