Hollywood, sure looked good to me when
|
I first come
|
Made my vow, somehow everyone would
|
know my name
|
Patiently, kept on waiting for my chance
|
to come
|
Prideful me, there's no returning to where
|
I came from
|
But she went back, the lovely lady who
|
come west with me
|
She could not wait, now she's married
|
living happily
|
But I still say a superstar is just a break
|
away
|
And I must try, it's do or die until I hear
|
the people say...
|
|
You made it, you made it
|
Our local boy has made it good
|
You made it, you made it
|
Overnight Sensation in Hollywood
|
|
Back again, make the rounds and go from
|
door to door
|
Sorry friend, you're just not quite what we
|
were looking for
|
A letter comes, she still writes to you from
|
time to time
|
You'd like to call, but she's too happy and
|
besides you need the dime
|
|
Then at lost, someone's calling with a role
|
to play
|
It concerns a man who's lost his lover when
|
she went away
|
A star is born, no one's ever seen it played
|
so well
|
It almost seems the tears are real but it's
|
just too hard to tell...
|
|
You made it, you made it
|
Found the price and paid it, I knew
|
you would
|
You made it, you made it
|
