Hollywood Life Lyrics - Raven-symoné - Raven Symone

She was a young girl, eighteen 

Addicted to the dreams of bein' on the big screen 

Then late one nigh, kissed her mama goodbye 

Took the keys to the car and drove off in the night 

Don't be in a rush to leave 

You'll never get these days again 

But she was blinded by all the stars in her eyes 

All she wanted was the Hollywood life 

It's not always what it seems, oh no 

It's the Hollywood life 

The land of a million dreams, oh 

They follow the glow 

But God only knows what it will show to you 

But when the sun goes down 

You can almost hear the sound of the broken dreams on the ground 

She was raised in a small town 

She's been here for a year, her body losin' weight now 

Never called back home, she's embarrassed to go 

She don't eat, she don't sleep, all she hearing is no 

She feels like there's no place to go 

There's no one there to hold her close 

So in comes the night with the tears in her eyes 

All she wanted was the Hollywood life 

It's not always what it seems, oh no 

It's the Hollywood life 

The land of a million dreams, oh, woah 

They follow the glow 

But God only knows what it will show to you 

When the sun goes down 

You can almost hear the sound of the broken dreams on the ground 

All she wanted was to live the life 

Her mom got a call form her baby late one night 

It was crying on the other end of the phone 

She told her baby please just come back home 

Everything is going to be alright this time 

Hollywood life 

It's not always what it seems, oh no 

It's the Hollywood life 

The land of a million dreams, oh 

They follow the glow 

But God only knows what it will show to you 

When the sun goes down you can hear the sounds of the dreams 

Hollywood life 

It's not always what it seems, oh no 

It's the Hollywood life 

The land of a million dreams, oh 

They follow the glow 

But God only knows what it will show to you 

When the sun goes down 

You can almost hear the sound of the broken dreams on the ground
