Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lipstick in hand
Tahitian tanned
In her painted-on jeans
[Verse 2]
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
[Verse 3]
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
It's true that you may never ever have that chance again
[Verse 4]
That chance again, babe
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
Just to pursue her movie star dreams
And she's givin' hot tricks to men
Just to get in
She was taught that that's not clean
[Verse 5]
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
It's true that you may never ever have that chance again
That chance again, babe
[Verse 6]
She gave up her life to follow her dreams
Left behind everything for the movie scene
Nothing more she could want, she was determined to follow her plan
She wanted Hollywood, she wanted it bad
Now that she got her dream, she became a star
It all looked so good, but only from afar
Imprisoned in every paparazzi's camera, every guy wished they could
Now it's back to reality for Ms. Hollywood
[Verse 7]
Lipstick in hand
Tahitian tanned
In her painted-on jeans
[Verse 8]
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
She's goin' Hollywood
She's goin' Hollywood tonight
It's true that you may never ever have that chance again
That chance again, babe
[Verse 9]
(You would be there)
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
To pursue her movie star dreams
(That chance again, babe)
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
[Verse 10]
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
To pursue her movie star dreams
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
[Verse 11]
(We would be there)
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
To pursue her movie star dreams
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
[Verse 12]
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
To pursue her movie star dreams
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
[Verse 13]
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
(Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
(Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
(She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood)
