Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's history
No one would give her
A star on the walk
She'd have a hundred
If pillows could talk
Where have I seen her before?
She's the face on the cutting room floor
[Verse 2]
It's no mystery
Actin' in school at the tenderest age
Lit up the room
When she stepped on the stage
Came to L.A. for some more
She's a face on the cutting room floor
[Verse 3]
She had visions of contracts
And thousands of people in line
To see her
Knockin' on door after door
After all of this time
She's not sure
[Verse 4]
Up Hollywood
Stayed with an agent
She met in a bar
Laughed when he told her
He'd make her a star
Where had she heard that before?
She's a face on the cutting room floor
[Verse 5]
One night he told her
That she'd never get anywhere
In her clothes
That's what it takes
To play movie land musical chairs
Now she knows
[Verse 6]
Goodbye Hollywood
Leavin' tonight on the 2:30 'Hound
Sunrise on Sunset, she won't be around
But they're replace her with
So many more
She's a face on the cutting room floor
[Verse 7]
Oh, she's a face on the cutting room floor
(Poor little) Little face on the cutting room floor
Face on the cutting room floor
Face on the cutting room floor
