stone cold city took a bite out of me
love of my life said he had to leave
he said " i love you,but i hate it, it's not for me,
I'd rather take my chances back in Tennessee"

HOLLYWOOD U.S.A HOLLYWOOD U.S.A

all alone in my room full of gloom
livin on the dark side of the moon
a phone rings not a moment too soon
is it you coming to my rescue?

sacrificed our love to fulfill my dreams
but everything that glitters ain't what it seems
i miss the lovin' arms that once held me
i wanted fame but all i got was misery in

HOLLYWOOD U.S.A HOLLYWOOD U.S.A

packin up, givin in, i can't win
going back to start over again
Greyhound bus, gotta rush to my man
will he still be my number one fan ?

sell your soul to be a star - workin' in a bar
change your name to play the game - it all remains the same
sing your song you got the part - but don't forget your heart
you'll need it when you reach the top - and you're alone in...

HOLLYWOOD U.S.A HOLLYWOOD U.S.A

i lost my love in Hollywood
i'll say goodbye to Hollywood.
