welcome to the big time you’re bound to be a star
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
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
whoa 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 oh no
take a good look around and you’ll find
people trying to 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
make you the winner of a losing fight
party is never over
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 something can look awfully good to you
and you wanna scream but you gotta keep it all inside
when you’re trying to make a living 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 oh no it don’t mean nothing
don’t mean nothing oh 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
