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"
Some people say "Man, she was hot, back when she was younger"
Yeah well, she was a dancer when she lived in L.A.

She was someone's baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
For 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, she was someone's baby doll

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"
Some people say Man, I bet she still makes love like an earthquake"
Yeah but man, she ain't easy, she ain't letting you in my friend, my friend

Its time to wake up baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heels on
And dream you're gone

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, she was someone's baby doll

She stops and calls an old friend from the pay phone at the subway
She says "I feel like I'm just sitting here wasting my days away"

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 hard entertainment 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
