She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn`t quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She`s never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there`s something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She`ll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What`s the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She`s never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there`s something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She`ll be the Queen of Hollywood
She`s believing in a dream
(Queen of Hollywood) 
It`s a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She`s got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
not so innocent a child

She`s never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there`s something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She`ll be the Queen of Hollywood, (Queen of Hollywood)
No she`s never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there`s something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She`ll be the Queen of Hollywood
She`s the Queen of Hollywood...
Queen of Hollywood, (Queen of Hollywood) and
Her friends still talk On Corners, (Queen of Hollywood)
Yeah yeah yeah-ie...
She`s the Queen of Hollywood...
Queen of Hollywood...
