Lyrics

Don't Belong in Hollywood

[Verse 1]

Hello, my beautiful friend

Did you get the money that your mother sent?

Your pictures don't make sense

Are you happy or do you just pretend?

You live in a town made by movie stars and educated hearts

Might sound like Amy Winehouse singing in your car

Do you wanna play that part?

Wear a dress your record label bought you

Fall in love with some Californian boy

[Chorus]

Fool me did you think you could

You don't belong in Hollywood, no no

[Verse 2]

Hey kids, look at my face

I'm sick and tired of being somebody that you hate

Gee whiz, pack all my bags

I'll buy a first class seat direct to LAX

No boy, I'll be an music star

I'll buy a Jaguar

And every joke I tell the audience will laugh

Beverley boulevard

One day we'll be standing there face to face

But you won't see the tears beneath my Prada shades

[Chorus]

Fool you all I thought I could

I don't belong in Hollywood, no no

[Verse 3]

Say what you wanna say

How people change and there's no point reminiscing

It's three AM and I'm still awake

I keep thinking babe, my phone's vibrating

[Chorus]

Fool me did you think you could

Come back to America

I should've loved you when I could

Oh, we're hopelessly misunderstood

We don't belong in Hollywood

No, we don't belong in Hollywood, no no
