Lyrics to 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')
