Intro

Verse 1

She stops and checks her reflection

 In a car parked on the corner

 She said "It's hell on me,

 This working down at the diner."

Verse 2

Some people say, man, she was hot

Back when she was younger

Yeah, well she was a dancer

When she lived in L.A.

Chorus 1

She was someone's baby doll

 A beauty queen to someone long ago,

 From the midnight show, and if 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

Back when all the world was young,

 And she was someone's baby doll

Repeat Intro

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Some people say "Man, I bet she

Still makes love like an earthquake."

Yeah, but man, she ain't easy

She ain't lettin' you in, my friend, my friend

Chorus 2

It's time to wake up, Baby Doll

 Put your best dress and your high heels on

 And dream you're gone, and 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

Back when all the world was young,

 And she was someone's baby doll

Instrumental

Verse 5

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."

Chorus 3

It's time to move on, Baby Doll

 And walk away just like you did before

 When you wanted more, and 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
