Baby Doll

She stops and checks her reflection in a car parked on the corner

She said, "It's hell on me, this workin' 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

For 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

She was someone's baby doll

She stops and checks her reflection in the bathroom on her lunchbreak

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

And then you close your eyes, you hear the music playin'

And 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 payphone at the Subway

She says, "I feel like I'm just sittin' here wastin' 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 heart in a tainted world

Not sure who you wanna be, your daddy's little drama queen

I hope that when you find yourself

You're more than just a baby doll
