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

She says its 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



Well she was someone's baby doll

A beauty queen to someone long ago

For the midnight show



And if you close your eyes

You can hear the music playing

You can see her dancing 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 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



Its time to wake up baby doll

Put your best dress and your high heals on

And dream your gone



When you close your eyes

You can hear the music playing

You can see her dancing 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 calls an old friend from the payphone 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



When you close your eyes

You hear the music playing

You can see her dancing 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
