Don't Mean Nothing

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

'Cause it don't mean nothing, the words that they say

No, it don't mean nothing, these games that people play

No, it don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime

No, it don't mean nothing till you sign it on the dotted line

Oh, yeah

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 tryna mess with your mind

But it don't mean nothing, the words that they say

No, it don't mean nothing, these games that people play

No, it don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime

No, it don't mean nothing till you sign it on the dotted line

Hollywood can be so lonely (Ooh)

Make you the winner of a losing fight

But the party is never over (Ooh)

'Cause the 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 somethin' can look awfully good to you"

And you wanna scream, but you gotta keep it all inside

When you're tryna make a livin', there ain't no such thing as pride

Oh, no

Lots of promises in the dark

Don't you open your heart

'Cause it don't mean nothing, the words that they say

No, it don't mean nothing, these games that people play

No, it don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime

No, it don't mean nothing till you sign it on the dotted line

(Don't mean nothing) Don't mean nothing

(Don't mean nothing) Whoa, no, it don't mean nothing

(Don't mean nothing) Whoa, no, it don't mean nothing

(Don't mean nothing) (Don't mean nothing at all)

Don't mean nothing

Don't mean nothing

Don't mean nothing

Don't mean nothing
