Lyrics
This ain't Hollywood
No, it never really gets that good
Call it love if you think you should
There's no need to explain
Tonight it's just you and me
A furnished room, black and white TV
The late movie runs till three
Then it's you and me again
There's no work, just a lot of talk
I quit drinking, now I watch the clock
And count the minutes in the dark
Until the sun crawls up again
And you won't leave soon because I know
You're just like me with no place to go
And there's a love still here, no it hasn't died
It just got hurt and buried deep inside
No, this ain't Hollywood
It ain't Venice or Malibu
It's not the life I promised you
When we set out years ago
You're waiting tables from one to nine
I fill out forms and stand in line
But there's no work, it's just a waste of time
And every day's the same
You're home later each night, I see
I fix dinner, then you talk to me
Then we wait for the late movie
To take us away again
And you won't leave soon because I know
You're just like me with no place to go
No place to go, it's just a matter of time
You'll find somewhere, it's just a matter of time
No, this ain't Hollywood
No, it never really gets that good
Call it love if you think you should
There's no need to explain
