She stops and checks her reflection
In a car parked on the corner
She says, "It's hell on me
Working down at the diner"

Some people say, "Man she was hot
Back when she was younger"
Yeah well, she was a dancer
When she lived in LA

Well she was someone's baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
For the midnight show

[Chorus]
And if you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing
Underneath the spotlight

And when she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
She was someone's baby doll

She stops and checks her reflection
In the bathroom on her lunch break
She says, "I still look good
For someone half of my real age"

Some people say, "Man I bet she still
Makes love like an earthquake"
Yeah but man, she ain't easy
She ain't lettin' you in my friend, my friend

It's time to wake up baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heels on
And dream you're gone

[Chorus]

She stops and calls an old friend
From the pay phone at the subway
She says, "I feel like I'm just sitting here
Wasting my days away"
It's time to move on baby doll
And walk away just like you did before
When you wanted more

When you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing
Underneath the spotlight

And when she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl
A pretty heart in a tainted world

Not sure who you want to be
You're daddy's little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself
You're more than just a baby doll
