Hollywood Girl


Hollywood Girl

In this business since your early teens

In countless commercials, including Burger King

Being touted as the next big thing

A future star of the silver screen

Hollywood Girl

A beauty with the talent to match

With an intelligence that so many lack

You have always been such a class act

In a business that can be such a pain in the ass

Hollywood Girl

You will get the respect that you deserve

With some time and a lot of hard work

Just always remember what you are worth

And always do things on your own terms

Hollywood Girl

I just wanted to thank you for being you

And for all of the great work that you do

I'm so glad that I got the chance to meet you

You made my Hollywood dream come true

I know how this town can drag you down

But I know that you will always be around

Because I have faith in you

It's a tough business, it's a cut throat race

Competiting with thousands of other that don't share your grace

But don't ever be afraid to show them what you can do

Hollywood Girl

I see something special in you

No one compares to you

Just let your inner self shine through

And your dreams will come true
