Babydoll
Pat Green
She stops and checks her reflection in the car parked on the corner
She said it's hell on me this 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.
She was someone's baby doll,
A beauty queen to someone long ago, at the midnight show
And if you close your eyes, you hear the music playin'
You can see her dancin' underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young, and 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 letting 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
And when you close your eyes, you hear the music playin
You can see her dancin' underneath the spotlight.
And when she sleeps she dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young, and she was someone's baby doll.
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
And when you close your eyes you hear the music playin'
You can see her dancin' underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps she dreams she's back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl, a pretty hard entertainment world
Not sure who you wanna be, you're daddy's little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself, you're more than just a baby doll.
