Richard Marx - Don't Mean Nothing LYRICS

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

Take a good look around and you'll find
People trying to mess with you rmind

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

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 its 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 at all
