Karaoké Don't Mean Nothing Richard Marx

Welcome to the big time you're bound to be a star

And 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

'Cos it don't mean nothin' these words that they say

No it don't mean nothing these games that people play

No it don't mean nothin' no victim no crime

No it don't mean nothing 'till you sign it on the dotted line

Oh yeah

The director smiles as you walk in the door

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 oh no

Take a good look around and you'll find

People tryin' to mess with your mind

But it don't mean nothin' these words that they say

No it don't mean nothing these games that people play aye

No it don't mean nothin' no victim no crime

No it don't mean nothing 'till you sign it on the dotted line

Hollywood can be so lonely makes you the winner of a losing fight

The party is never over the stars are always shining

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

The producer says let me change a line or two

Your little bit of something can look awfully good to you

And you wanna scream but you gotta keep it all inside

When you're tryin' 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

'Cos it don't mean nothin' the words that they say

No it don't mean nothing these games that people play

No it don't mean nothin' no victim no crime

No it don't mean nothing 'till you sign it on the dotted line

Don't mean nothing oh no it don't mean nothing

Oh no it don't mean nothing don't mean nothing at all

Oh no it don't mean nothing don't mean nothing at all
