Текст песни Don't Mean Nothing - Richard Marx

Welcome to the big time, you're bound to be a star
And even if you don't go all the way, I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no

Lots of promises in the dark
Don't you open your heart

'Cause it don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
No, it don't mean nothin'
These games that people play

No, it don't mean nothin'
No victim, no crime
No, it don't mean nothin'
'Til you sign it on the dotted line
Oh, yeah

The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, "I love your work, babe
But you're just not what we're looking for
It's never what, but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that California snow, oh no

Take a good look around and you'll find
People tryin' to mess with your mind

But it don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
No, it don't mean nothin'
These games that people play

No, it don't mean nothin'
No victim, no crime
No, it don't mean nothin'
'Til you sign it on the dotted line

Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
The party is never over
'Cause stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night

The producer says, "Let me change a line or two"
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a living
There ain't no such thing as pride, oh no

Lots of promises in the dark
Don't you open your heart

'Cause it don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
No, it don't mean nothin'
These games that people play

No, it don't mean nothin'
No victim, no crime
No, it don't mean nothin'
'Til you sign it on the dotted line

(Don't mean nothin') don't mean nothin'
(Don't mean nothin') oh, no, it don't mean nothin'
(Don't mean nothin') oh, no, it don't mean nothin'
(Don't mean nothin') don't mean nothin' at all

Don't mean nothin'
Don't mean nothin'
Don't mean nothin'
Don't mean nothin'
