Lyrics Richard Marx

Richard Marx

Don't Mean Nothing

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
